Lapis Lazuli is a stone closely linked to royalty and ancient civilizations. Its name, meaning "blue stone," perfectly illustrates its brilliance. For millennia, it has fascinated with its appearance and properties. The Egyptians, who attributed a sacred dimension to it, incorporated it into the adornments of rulers and ritual objects. They mainly used it to decorate the funerary masks of pharaohs, believing it facilitated the passage to the afterlife and provided protection in the other world. Its blue color, dotted with golden flecks from Pyrite, evoked the starry sky.
Beyond its historical prestige, Lapis Lazuli is a stone of wisdom and truth. It brings mental clarity conducive to thoughtful decisions and stimulates creativity. It encourages introspection, sharpens perception of the world, and develops intuition. Its connection to the third eye chakra makes it a valuable ally for those seeking better understanding and a clearer vision of reality.
This polished block of Lapis Lazuli is of Excelsus (AAA) quality, mined at high altitude in the Gilgit-Baltistan province of Pakistan.
