Lapis in roller bottle

For thousands of years lapis lazuli was mined from the same mountains of Afghanistan and carried west to the tombs of kings.

Origin & Traditional Use

This is a glass roller bottle fitted with a smooth lapis lazuli rolling ball, made for storing your own essential oil or condition oil blends and rolling them onto skin, candles or tools. Lapis is a deep blue stone flecked with golden pyrite, and it has been associated since antiquity with royalty, the heavens and wisdom.
