The lapis lazuli necklace is a jewel that carries 6,000 years of history nestled around your neck. This deep royal blue, dotted with golden pyrite flakes that sparkle like stars in a night sky, has fascinated all great civilizations. Tutankhamun's funeral mask is adorned with it, the Sumerians considered it the flesh of the gods, and Renaissance painters crushed it to obtain the most precious pigment of all: ultramarine, more expensive than gold at the time. Vermeer, Michelangelo, Raphael: the most famous blues in art history are painted with lapis lazuli. Worn as a necklace, it naturally sits between the throat chakra and the third eye chakra, the two centers it works best on.
In lithotherapy, the lapis lazuli necklace is renowned for its properties of wisdom, truth, and inner royalty. Worn around the neck, it promotes sincere and deep expression, nourished by intuition and reflection. It is not a stone for idle chatter: lapis lazuli helps one speak with accuracy, say things that truly matter, and stand by one's convictions. It is the stone of leaders, teachers, thinkers, and all those who seek to embody their truth. It is also recommended to stimulate the intellect and deepen meditation. Lapis lazuli naturally pairs with amethyst (spiritual depth), sodalite (mental clarity), or rock crystal (amplification). For care, lapis lazuli cannot tolerate salt, acids, or chemicals. Clean your necklace with clear water and recharge it in moonlight. With a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, remove it before showering and playing sports.
