Also known as Lapis
Lapis Lazuli is a stone for deepening intuition and speaking your highest truth.
As a deep ultramarine stone of the Third Eye and Throat chakras, Lapis Lazuli opens the door between inner sight and outer expression. Its midnight blue, flecked with gold pyrite, evokes the starry heavens and the wisdom of the ancients. Ruled by expansive Jupiter and harmonious Venus, it carries both the urge to know truth and the grace to share it with clarity.
Aligned with the Throat chakra and governed by Venus, Lapis Lazuli encourages honest, heartfelt communication. It helps you speak from a place of integrity, making it a powerful ally for resolving misunderstandings and deepening emotional bonds.
Because Lapis Lazuli activates the Third Eye chakra and is ruled by Jupiter, it is said to sharpen psychic awareness and open the mind to spiritual truths. Meditating with it can help you trust your inner wisdom and see beyond the surface of things.
Wear Lapis Lazuli as a necklace or pendant so its energy stays close to the Throat and Third Eye chakras, supporting clear expression and intuitive insight throughout the day.
Hold a piece in your hand or rest it on your Third Eye during meditation to quiet mental chatter and invite visionary clarity. Focus on its deep blue color as a gateway to inner knowing.
Place Lapis Lazuli in a study, meditation corner, or anywhere you seek wisdom and truthful conversation—its presence can quiet a space and stimulate thoughtful dialogue.
Because Lapis Lazuli contains pyrite and is not water-safe, never place it directly in water. Instead, use a glass indirect method: put the stone in a clean glass container, then place that container in a larger bowl of water for several hours, allowing the energy to infuse the water without physical contact. Discard the stone after use and store separately.
LoreAncient Egyptians ground Lapis Lazuli into powder for ceremonial eye makeup and carved it into scarab amulets, believing it protected the wearer in life and guided them in the afterlife. It was associated with the sky deity Nut and the goddess Isis, and only royalty and priests were permitted to use it.
