What is Lapis Lazuli?

Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock composed mainly of Lazurite, with inclusions of Calcite (white) and Pyrite (gold). Its name comes from Latin “lapis” (stone) and Persian “lazhward” (blue). This sacred blue stone has long been associated with royalty, truth, and divine connection.

Spiritually, Lapis Lazuli embodies truth, insight, and higher communication. It enhances intellectual ability, promotes self-awareness, and activates the inner wisdom needed to align your words and thoughts with your soul’s purpose.

It is a crystal of both intellect and intuition, harmonizing logic with inner knowing.

A Brief History of Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli has been honored since ancient civilizations for its celestial color and spiritual power.
In Egypt, it adorned the headdresses of pharaohs and was ground into powder to create the sacred ultramarine pigment used in royal ornaments and the Eye of Horus. It symbolized truth, protection, and the divine.

Sumerians believed it carried the spirit of the gods, while in Buddhist traditions, it represents inner peace and spiritual enlightenment.
During the Renaissance, painters reserved ultramarine pigment made from Lapis Lazuli for depicting the robes of the Virgin Mary — a color too sacred to waste.

Across cultures, it has remained a timeless emblem of truth, wisdom, and higher awareness.
