Lapis Lazuli, carrying the wisdom and healing energy of ancient civilizations, is named for its blue hue and golden pyrite inclusions that resemble stars, earning it the title "Stone of the Sky."
As one of the earliest healing stones in human history, it has been mined in Afghanistan for six thousand years and is considered the "National Stone" of Afghanistan and a "treasure" in Arab countries. In ancient Egypt, Lapis Lazuli symbolized the Eye of Horus, representing divine protection, royal authority, healing and rebirth, mathematical measurement, and more.
The legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra even used its powder as eye makeup to exude the insight and majesty of a goddess. Today, Lapis Lazuli is not only a guardian stone for meditation and mindfulness, enhancing mental focus, purifying distractions, and awakening the third eye consciousness, but it is also the birthstone for December, symbolizing victory, success, and a clear spiritual intention.
