The lapis lazuli is lighter, more like sodalite ( which I also love .). They are well made. Their beauty is in the simplicity of design, letting the stones take center stage. Perfect with jeans. They are not heavy. I will buy from this artist again.
I've purchased 3 of these - 1 for myself and the other 2 as gifts, primarily because I love chrysocolla. Typical of chrysocolla, each one has varied in color, all of which are very pretty. and nicely crafted.
