Lapis lazuli
Lapis lazuli is said to have magical powers and its azure blue flashes with shiny inclusions that are reminiscent of a starry night. It opens the soul - for you and the person you are talking to when you both hold a lapis lazuli in your hand. On top of that, it is considered a “sky stone” that symbolizes divine energy and the infinity of being. It is often used as a protective stone.
