The Elms Family crest carved for sealing onto Lapis Lazuli. Pictured on the left is the smaller of the two identical stones. The other stone is the larger oval. They are both of the finest AAA gem grade of Lapis.

Here is the design of the Elms family crest that was used for the two Lapis carvings.

Leuitenant Geordie Elms is serving as the Canadian defence attache in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The finest Lapis Lazuli in the world is found in the mountains of Afghanistan. Geordie has been kind enough to buy some Lapis from the dealers in Kabul and send it to Portraits in Stone.

Pictured is a piece of the finest AAA gem grade Lapis that has been sourced for Gareth Eckley by Geordie Elms.
