Lapis Lazuli is a stone associated with royalty and power since ancient times. Its name, meaning "blue stone," reflects the intensity of its color, a recognizable blue streaked with golden flecks. The Egyptians valued it highly, using it to adorn fine jewelry and the funerary masks of the highest dignitaries, convinced that this sacred stone facilitated passage to the afterlife. Its inclusions of Pyrite, with golden reflections, give it a shine reminiscent of gold and reinforce its image as a precious stone.
Beyond its prestige, Lapis Lazuli is also known for its influence on the mind. It promotes mental clarity, helps in making thoughtful decisions, and stimulates creativity. It encourages better self-understanding and awareness of the world, while sharpening intuition. Associated with the third eye chakra, it facilitates spiritual awakening and access to deeper perceptions, making thought more fluid and clear.
This polished block of Lapis Lazuli is of Excelsus (AAA) quality, extracted from the high mountains of the Gilgit-Baltistan province in Pakistan.
