Lapis Lazuli Meaning & Benefits
The stone of wisdom and truth
Lapis Lazuli has been treasured for over 6,000 years. Ancient Egyptians ground it into pigment and set it into royal jewellery, and its deep blue, scattered with golden pyrite, has always been a symbol of wisdom and royalty.
It is a stone for thinkers, communicators and anyone seeking honest self-expression.
