Lapis Lazuli Scarab Seal Stone Pendant

This distinctive scarab-shaped bead is hand-carved in Afghanistan by a skilled artisan from genuine lapis lazuli, a prized deep-blue stone that has been treasured across Central Asia and the ancient world for thousands of years. Reminiscent of ancient beads and amulets of yore, each piece is carved on both sides, with the scarab design on one face and individually rendered animal or symbolic motifs on the reverse. The natural variations in the lapis, together with the rustic hand carving, give every bead its own character and make no two exactly alike. Photos are representative of the assortment you may receive, and designs, coloration, shape, and carving will vary from piece to piece. Each order is for one unique bead.
