I found these two polished, crescent-shaped stones in a historical site believed to be part of an ancient cemetery. Both pieces appear to be made of lapis lazuli, showing characteristic deep blue hues with visible flecks of golden pyrite. Two items has a drilled hole near the top, possibly for suspension as a pendant or bead, suggesting it may have been used as personal adornment or ritual jewelry. The shape resembles a crescent moon, a symbol often associated with femininity, spirituality, and protection in many ancient cultures (such as Mesopotamian, Persian, or Egyptian). The items were discovered in undisturbed soil layers and have signs of age-related surface wear, but are otherwise intact. No modern tool marks are visible. I would appreciate an expert evaluation regarding: The estimated age or cultural origin of the items Confirmation of material (lapis lazuli or other) Their potential use or symbolism Approximate market value (especially if ancient)

approximately **2.5 to 3 cm in length** and **less than 1 cm in width**.
