About Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a deep blue semi-precious stone cherished since ancient times for its vibrant color, widely used in jewelry, art, and ornaments. The name "lapis lazuli" originates from Latin and Persian, where lapis means "stone" and lazuli derives from Persian lazhuward, meaning "blue" or "sky blue."

Historically, lapis lazuli was ground to create ultramarine pigment, especially during the Renaissance. The stone's rich blue hue, speckled with golden pyrite inclusions, has often been associated with the night sky and stars. In ancient cultures like Egypt, it was used in amulets and to adorn artifacts such as burial masks.

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