Lapis Lazuli is a gemstone straight out of fairy tales of the Arabian Nights: deepest blue with golden shining pyrite twinkling like little stars. Thousands of years before Christ, Egyptian and Persian royalty wore lapis as a talisman to deter danger. For many, lapis is a stone of truth and friendship. Bringing harmony to relationships, inner vision, wisdom, insight and good judgement. A powerful gemstone that should not be worn by those who lack strength of character.
