Lapis Lazuli Angel - hand-carved angel figure in semi-precious stone
Lapis lazuli has been a stone people have prized for thousands of years, from Egyptian pharaohs to Renaissance painters who ground it into ultramarine pigment. This small angel figure is carved from that same material: deep blue, threaded with gold-toned pyrite and occasional white calcite streaks.
The figure stands 38 mm tall and weighs around 35 grams. That is compact enough to hold in one hand or place beside a card reading without demanding attention. Each piece is hand-carved and polished, which means the shape stays consistent while the pattern in the stone differs with every figure.
What you are holding
The colour of lapis lazuli is not flat. In one light it reads as near-midnight blue, in another it pulls toward ultramarine or violet. The pyrite flecks catch the light with a gold sheen and give the stone its recognisable character. Calcite veins, white or light grey, break through the blue in places.
The surface is polished smooth, not glassy but closer to a matte satin finish. That makes it pleasant to hold. The angel form is kept simple: a clear silhouette without fine carvings that would chip easily.
How people use this figure
Many people place it on an altar or desk, or set it beside a tarot or oracle reading. In the crystal tradition, lapis lazuli is associated with honest expression and intuition, themes that sit naturally alongside card work.
To clean it, a dry soft cloth is all you need. Lapis lazuli is a porous stone, and prolonged contact with water is not recommended. Recharging works well in a quiet space or under moonlight.
Lapis lazuli is sensitive to water. Keep the figure dry and clean it only with a soft dry cloth.

Questions we often get
Are all figures exactly the same?
The shape is consistent: all figures are approximately 38 mm tall with the same angel silhouette. The pattern in the stone differs per piece because lapis lazuli is a natural material. The pyrite and calcite veins run differently in each one.
Can I clean lapis lazuli with water?
This is not recommended. Lapis lazuli is porous and can become dull or discoloured with prolonged water exposure. Clean the figure with a soft dry cloth only.
