3. Lapis Lazuli: The Chilean Specialty
Chile is one of only two places in the world (alongside Afghanistan) where high-quality Lapis Lazuli is mined.
* Patio Bellavista: This area in Santiago is the hub for authentic Lapis Lazuli. Many artisan shops here offer "Workshop Prices," where you can find silver-set Lapis earrings and pendants ranging from $25,000 to $80,000 CLP.
* Export Quality: When buying high-end Lapis, look for "Extra Quality" (deep blue with minimal white calcite). Major retailers like Joyas Maury often feature these in 18k gold settings, which are currently seeing 10% to 15% discounts for tourists.
Essential Shopping Tips
* VAT Refunds: Unlike many European countries, Chile does not have a general VAT refund system for tourists' retail purchases. However, the duty-free shops at Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL) offer international luxury brands tax-free.
* Interest-Free Installments: For residents, the "3 cuotas sin interés" is the standard offer. If you are a tourist paying in a single installment, you can sometimes negotiate a 5% to 10% discount in independent boutiques.
* Summer Hours: During February, many independent boutiques in downtown Santiago may close earlier on Saturdays or operate on "Summer Hours." Shopping malls (malls) remain open until 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM.
