Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest stones recorded as part of human history; honoured and adored for its deep blue colour and considered to be worthy of royalty. This semi precious metamorphic stone is found only in a few locations with the most significant deposits in Afghanistan, Russia and Chile, yet Lapis Lazuli ornaments and other carved creations such as beads and jewellery have been discovered in archaeological sites worldwide.
Lapis Lazuli generally is comprised of Lazurite which gives the stone its intense blue colour, pyrite and calcite. Lapis Lazuli is considered to be a stone of enlightenment, especially with reference to the self and matters of self compassion. Regarded as an uplifting stone, Lapis Lazuli is also supportive in deep meditative practice to assist you in determining and subsequently speaking your truth with confidence and clarity.
Stone carved into the human skull form is a tool that can be used with meditative practice to expand your consciousness.
