Lapis has had a
long and varied history, while it has been mined in Afghanistan for
over 6,000 years, its use in Native American Jewelry is considered
a relatively recent development. The somewhat recent addition of
this stone (recent in historical terms) has by no means slowed down
its implementation into all forms of Native American jewelry, lapis
bracelets being no exception.
The various
tribes of the Southwest have mastered the skills involved with
stone working and jewelry making, and did not miss a beat when
lapis was first introduced in significant quantity. They have been
producing amazing feats of artistry in American Indian lapis
bracelets and Native
American bracelets ever since.
Made up of
lazurite, lapis is put in the rock family. It does have a
small amount of minerals imbedded into it, the most common and
desirable being pyrite or "fool's gold" as it is more commonly
referred to. Pyrite gives some lapis stones a gold speckled facade,
which in the right ratio is highly sought after by many collectors.
The beautiful canvas of the deep blue lapis and the occurrence of
dazzling pyrite specs inspired artists to incorporate the gemstone
into superb blue lapis bracelets.
