Resin bottle opener with inlaid deep blue lapis lazuli semi-precious gemstones

Stylish resin bottle opener with stainless steel hardware and embedded semi-precious lapis lazuli gemstones. Lapis lazuli has a deep blue colour which comes from the lazurite grains in the rock and often contains flecks or veins of pyrite which gives the stone its sparkle, and calcite which is the host rock that surrounds the gem. Most sources of lapis lazuli are in the mines of Badakhshan, north-eastern Afghanistan and Ovalle, Chile.

Lapis lazuli was highly prized by the ancient Egyptians for its intense colour, and it was believed to lead the soul into immortality and open the heart to love. It is used predominantly in jewellery and is associated with spiritual enlightenment, inner vision and self-awareness. Lapis lazuli is the birthstone of September.

Lapis lazuli is a metamorphic rock.

The lapis lazuli stones are embedded in resin in a mould and the hardware attached with resin, making this piece a strong but stylish addition to your bar or a great gift idea for your family and friends, or someone who just appreciates beautiful objects!

One only.
