Lapis Lazuli Chalice

Lapis Lazuli Chalice
Winner of a Ministry & Liturgy Visual Arts Award
Fabricated of sterling silver and stone, this romanesque chalice was created for a client in New Hampshire. The cup is formed of six pieces of lapis lazuli, 3/16" thick, and meticulously cut to produce a uniform curve. The node is of malachite. A romanized cross patée of lapis lazuli is set into the base.
