Lapis Lazuli’s Healthful Powers

“Since ancient times, lapis lazuli has fascinated humanity. Historians believe the link between humans and lapis lazuli stretches back more than 6,500 years. The gem was treasured by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome. They valued it for its vivid, exquisite color, and prized it as much as they prized other blue gems like sapphire and turquoise.

This stone is mystical, with its deep blue hue and golden flecks. Its metaphysical uses, healing properties, and profound meaning go beyond its aesthetic appeal.

Lapis lazuli is considered a ‘Stone of Wisdom,’ believed to enhance intellect, clarity, and insight. Ancient civilizations used lapis lazuli as a protective stone, especially in its use by royalty and warriors. Lapis lazuli is found in several locations around the world, especially in Egypt where ancient Egyptian pharaohs wore a jeweled collar having lapis lazuli. Historically, the most renowned source was the Badakhshan province in Afghanistan, which has been mined for over 6,000 years. Other notable deposits exist in Russia, Chile, the United States, and some parts of Africa and Asia.

Lapis lazuli is also connected to the Throat Chakra, supporting honest expression, leadership, and confidence. It’s linked to the Third Eye Chakra, which is associated with intuition and higher consciousness, aiding in spiritual growth and self-discovery.  It’s believed to promote inner tranquility, emotional balance, and self-awareness.” 

“After scientists from the University of Wisconsin scanned my brain, I worked with them to design a necklace that not only looks beautiful… it’s able to ‘hack’ your brain… give you a better memory and improved concentration… and, by balancing your Third Eye Chakra, give you access to altered states of consciousness and powerful psychic abilities”
