Lapis Lazuli: description and virtues in lithotherapy

Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock composed of sulfurated silicate of aluminum and sodium. Its deep blue colour is due to the presence of Lazurite (up to 40%). Lapis Lazuli also contains Calcite (traces, veins), Pyrite (tasks, glitter) and Sodalite. The main deposits are located in Afghanistan, but there is also a prospect of Lapis Lazuli in Russia (Lake Baikal region), Siberia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the USA, Chile, Angola and Canada. Lapis Lazuli has been used for millennia, whether for jewellery, decoration, painting, collection or lithotherapy.

Nicknamed "The Stone of the Egyptians", Lapis Lazuli has been used for spiritual and healing purposes since ancient times by many civilizations around the world. This mineral is known to bring a feeling of calm, serenity and inner peace. By unlocking the Throat Chakra, Lapis Lazuli would have the ability to improve communication, while at the same time defusing self-confidence. By opening the Chakra of the 3rd Eye, it would increase intuition, promote telepathy and activate vision. He accompanies meditation sessions, facilitates astral travel, and helps control lucid dreams. Lapis Lazuli symbolizes truth and wisdom.

Precautions and maintenance of Lapis Lazuli

To preserve the qualities of Lapis Lazuli over time, avoid contact with chemical or cosmetic products, as well as prolonged exposure to the sun, which could alter its colour. To clean it, simply use warm water. Gently rub with your fingers to remove impurities, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
