Brush pot made of lapis lazuli, Qianlong Dynasty
With its brilliant indigo colour pertaining to the heavenly celeste, the stone was often reserved for objects and accessories destined for use in ritual ceremonies. It was also a source of the ultramarine pigment in religious mural paintings. Scholar’s objects fashioned from this material are scarce, though a small number of carved mountains and table screens do exist. Symbolic of purity and rarity, lapis lazuli appears to have been named qingjinshi (blue gold stone) during the Qing dynasty. The aura of mystery that surrounded this stone may have been due to the virtually inaccessible location of its principle mines in the remote Badakshan region of northeast Afghanistan behind the Hindu Kush.

Whack fol the dah, now dance with your partner
Around the floor, your trotters shake
Isn't it the truth, I tell you?
Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake

Randomly thinking about one of my underappreciated friendships/ocs because my Youtube is full of The High Kings band again - Rover and Lapidary. Now Rover carries some weirdly Irish vibes for a dude that isn't even Irish (English-American) but I think it's because so many Irish folk songs have the word 'rover' in them lmao.
That being said Rover IS very good friends with a certain Irish (/Canadian) Smurf! And since Lapidary likes to Irish jig and Rover plays fiddle the two can be found jamming out from time to time.
Lapidary and Rover are mine

Hello! I’ve recently started using this platform a lot more than other social media so thought I’d introduce myself and open a door for communication with new people! My name is Elizabeth. I’m about to be 23 here in a few months! Here are a few pictures of my favorite things (: mushrooms, baking/cooking, nature, hiking, ROCKS! (Huge rock nerd), any animal near me is my favorite animal at the time but I love frogs and snakes. Hula hooping is one of my MANY hobbies, along with stone cutting, painting, crocheting, and watching as many horror movies in one lifetime as possible… etc I love oddities and dead things and all things creepy. I spend almost all year waiting for fall and Halloween. I’m weird and love weird people. Reach out and we can talk about random weird shit together. 🖤

Today was the perfect day to visit one of our favorite local museums, the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art, in Oakbrook, IL. We go once a year at least and this was our second trip to the new location on Josie Blvd. It was great to see new pieces on display and enjoy taking a closer look a old favorites, like this beautiful amethyst bowl!

hanging work of art that represents a female figure holding a framed cruciix

openwork and carved corals, that are tied with silver thread to two riveted
