A structural masonry element includes an element body having a perimeter wall defined by height, and having parallel top and bottom surfaces, each of the top and bottom surfaces having an external lunate shape. The external lunate shape is defined by a material section resulting from a symmetrical lens cut away from a first circle. The symmetrical lens is a result of an intersection of the first circle with a second circle. Radii of the first and second circles are equivalent. A distance between centers of the first circle and second circle is greater than each of the first and second radii. The external lunate shape is configured to nest an analogous interfacing masonry element within the symmetrical lens and thereby provide a spherical first interlocking masonry joint. A mortarless masonry structure including a plurality of such masonry elements is also considered.
