History of Lapis Lazuli

Nereide Lapis Lazuli, with its deep blue, a symbol of nobility and spirituality, reflects the extraordinary legacy of the legendary lapis lazuli, a mineral that has spanned centuries of history. During the Middle Ages, Venice established itself as the main port of entry for lapis lazuli from Afghan mines. This precious mineral was used in sacred art to produce the blue pigment known as ultramarine, renowned for its intensity and beauty. The lapis lazuli trade helped consolidate Venice's economic and cultural influence, enriching its artistic heritage and establishing it as a hub of history and mysticism.
