Lapis Lazuli is a dark cobalt and indigo-blue crystal with golden flecks of Pyrite and occasional white patterning throughout. It is made from a combination of minerals, including Lazurite, Calcite and Pyrite. It is an opaque stone that is typically dull naturally, but can be polished to a glassy luster.
Lapis Lazuli is said to have been in existence since the birth of time, and was used by ancient Hebrews on ceremonial robes. It was also a very popular stone for the ancient Egyptians who knew it as the "stone of heaven" and would use it in amulets, cylinder seals, scarabs and funerary masks.
Lapis Lazuli reminds us of the power of the spoken word and is one of the best stones to use when opening and balancing the Throat Chakra. Lapis Lazuli helps to foster full verbal expression, and clears problems caused by “swallowing your tongue”. Lapis encourages clear, truthful expression when sharing information with others, including an easier voicing/communication of anger.
A Third Eye Chakra opener, Lapis Lazuli connects the physical and celestial kingdoms. Deeply peaceful, Lapis provides wisdom into mystical realms and connection with spiritual guardians. Lapis Lazuli can be a key to spiritual attainment.
Lapis also protects against psychic attack, shielding negative energy and returning any negative vibrations to their source.
Lapis Lazuli will enhance dream work and spiritual journeying.
Physically, Lapis Lazuli helps with the immune system, thyroid and nervous system. It can alleviate headaches, migraines, fevers and pain.

| Hello. I liked this article. I am , let's say, a fun of lapis lazuli and I must say that it is not only a very beautiful stone, but it is of a good help to wear it. I really recommand this stone to people that feel wick or confused, looking to this true blue stone you'll feel more relaxed and without any effort your mind will be clearer. But, and there is a big but, something that is true for all the stones , not only for this one, if you have a negative mind or vibration of any sort, this stone will give you back exactly this - begative vibrations, and it won't help you at all. But, if you want get lose of you negativity and you make the effort of cleaning yourself, with an open mind and heart, help will be available to you. Good vibrations!

| Hey, Thanks for the good info!! I thought Lapis Lazuli would protect you from psychic attacks, and it does. But as you said, when you are yourself negative, the stone picks that up, and does indeed make the negative stronger. So it is advisable to be quite careful if you are being attacked, by negative energies, to wear this stone. You can however, program the stone, but it will always do what it knows best. In lapis lazulis case, it gives you more psychic energies, and these can be used for good, or for bad. Peace my friend. (Submitted by: Apollho on May 09, 2016) |
