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.

The great general Napoleon is said to have carried a lapis lazuli with him as a protective stone. And the legendary Egyptian ruler Cleopatra used lapis lazuli to emphasize her cat-like eyes. Today, lapis lazuli is particularly popular as a friendship amulet. Find out everything about the blue friendship stone now.

Excavations in Ur, probably the oldest city in human history, show that lapis lazuli was already being made into necklaces and jewelry around 5,000 years before Christ. Due to inclusions of pyrite grains, lapis lazuli resembles the sparkling starry sky at night.
People believed that all the divine power, security and infinite life was concentrated in lapis. This made lapis the protective stone of the Greeks, Romans and Indians.

Lapis lazuli was revered as a friendship stone in all cultures.


Lapis lazuli works best on the throat chakra. On an astrological level it is associated with the zodiac signs Sagittarius, Virgo and Libra. The effect on the body is particularly good if you place lapis lazuli on the throat chakra or forehead chakra. Lapis lazuli strengthens our self-confidence and ensures that even shy people become more sociable and can approach other people more openly.
Lapis lazuli is considered a powerful stone that can open your throat chakra and help you communicate your opinions and feelings more clearly. It is also said to strengthen concentration and make you more sensitive to your own needs.

In addition, lapis lazuli increases our sincerity, and because it also has a mood-enhancing effect, it is ideal for energetic blockages or fears. As a stone of friendship, it helps us to openly confide in our friends - and conversely, to always have an open ear for their concerns.
The lapis lazuli should be discharged once a month in a dry bowl with hematite tumbled stones. It is then recharged in the morning or evening sun or in a rock crystal group.
