Description
The Sumerians believed that the spirit of their gods lived within the stone, while the ancient Egyptians saw it as a symbol of the night sky. Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth.
The components of lapis lazuli include sodalite minerals, calcite, and pyrite. The sodalite minerals are the blue part, the calcite is white, and the pyrite is the “gold flecks” commonly visible in lapis lazuli. Lapis Lazuli boosts the immune system, purifies blood, lowers blood pressure, cooling and soothing areas of inflammation. It alleviates insomnia and vertigo, and overcomes depression. Because of its connection to cosmic/heaven energies, lapis lazuli is also believed to provide protection and shield the wearer from negative influences. The water element color of the stone helps purify lower energies from one’s body and align it with higher, healthier vibrations.
