Lapis lazuli merkaba, 38mm point to point

A 38mm merkaba carved from lapis lazuli — two interpenetrating tetrahedrons forming an eight-pointed star in three dimensions, measured point to point.

The stone is the deep ultramarine blue that lapis is prized for, with lighter blue and white marbling running through it and the characteristic golden pyrite flecks scattered across the surface, catching the light as the piece is turned. The whole carving is polished to a high gloss, so the facets read as clean planes with bright edges.

At 38mm point to point it sits comfortably in the palm — small enough for a desk or display shelf, large enough that the colour and inclusions are clearly visible.

Note: Each piece is cut from natural stone, so the depth of blue, the amount of white marbling and the pyrite flecks vary from one carving to the next.
