The mathematical paraphrase - ellipse, the transitions of which are pointed in the large diameter - can only inadequately describe the simple elegance of this drilled stone part.
The drilled Marquise made of lapis lazuli is 45mm long and has a bore of 2.2mm.
The name Lapis Lazuli is derived from the Latin words "lapis" (stone) and lazulum (blue). Different spellings like lapis lazuli, lazulum or lapizlazulli are not correct.
