Is a lapis lazuli bowl food-safe?
- Thread starter LapisLore

Eating or drinking from a lapis lazuli bowl raises some safety concerns. The presence of copper and sulphur can be toxic.
While sealing might make it a bit safer, I wouldn't recommend using it. I've seen several warnings that make me cautious. For more details on toxic stones, check out an external site that lists them. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

Will it rust over time due to the presence of pyrite, those intriguing golden specks? It's possible. Even high-cost and supposedly 'cleaner' Afghan lapis often contains these pyrite inclusions. I once purchased an expensive Afghan lapis only to discover that its alluring golden flecks were, in fact, pyrite. Over time, I noticed slight changes on the surface, a subtle reminder that even the finest stones may carry nature's imperfections. Not that it's not beautiful, but it's something to be aware of if you're considering investing in such gemstones.
I’ve been thinking about those fancy lapis lazuli bowls everyone’s talking about. While they make for a stunning display, I wouldn’t recommend eating or drinking from one.
The main issue? If the bowl gets scratched—like from your utensils—it can turn unsafe pretty quickly. Who wants to deal with that? It’s true that it might not be super toxic right away, but those long-term risks can get serious, like potentially raising your cancer risk. That’s definitely something to ponder!
Now, it’s interesting to note how we’re constantly exposed to toxins in our daily lives, like chlorine in water and air pollution. But it feels different using something as beautiful as a lapis bowl for food.
Also, there's this quirky idea floating around that food may taste funny after absorbing the bowl’s energy over time. And if you’re into crystals, you might want to think about storing raw ingredients with them in the fridge. Just be cautious when it comes to cooking—there's not much clarity on how that would affect the benefits!

I’ve tried this before, and it adds a great layered look while being quite practical.Have you ever considered if Cleopatra's demise could be linked to her choice of cosmetics? It's intriguing that she used lapis lazuli as eye shadow, given its historical significance and luxurious appeal. I came across this fascinating detail about her beauty regime recently.
