This is a rare example of the most prized of gemstones, lapis lazuli. During the Middle Kingdom, hard stone beads of lapis lazuli and carnelian were the most prevalent, both prized for their rarity and allure, and treasured for their matchless beauty, mystical power, symbolism, and worth. The varying proportions of minerals that make up the complex nature of lapis lazuli determine its depth of color. The ancient Egyptian prized it highly, placing it immediately after gold and silver in lists of valuable materials. After 4000 years, this lovely bead has been strung once more for wearing as a pendant necklace with a modern, adjustable 18K gold chain.
