A Few Facts About Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is a deep blue semi-precious stone that has been treasured since antiquity for its intense color, used in jewelry, art, and ornamentation. The name "lapis lazuli" originates from Latin and Persian, with lapis meaning "stone" and lazuli derived from the Persian lazhuward, meaning "blue" or "sky blue."

Historically, lapis lazuli was used to create ultramarine pigment, especially during the Renaissance, and its deep blue color with golden flecks of pyrite often evoked associations with the night sky and stars. In ancient cultures, such as Egypt, it was used for amulets and decorations on burial masks.

Lapis lazuli symbolizes wisdom, truth, and insight, often associated with spiritual and intellectual growth. In modern esotericism, it is believed to enhance communication and self-expression, often linked to the throat chakra.
