Like malachite, lapiz has a rich history. After all, this deep blue stone was a favorite of Cleopatra and company. Best paired with gold, the lapis lazuli has a rich, exotic look. I love the idea of it with an all black ensemble — for when you're feeling incognito. Don't hide, just let the lapiz lead the way.
