Lapis Lazuli was the first healing stone that I EVER had been drawn to or purchased.  I went to a stone show at the Nashville Flea Market 3 years ago.  When I started looking at the stones I realized that I kept looking at  this gorgeous blue stone. Come to find out it was a Lapis Lazuli.  I WASN’T leaving without that stone because it was calling me.    That was the beginning of my love for the stones.

Sapphire or Lapis Lazuli: The Hebrew name of Sappir. The sacred character of this stone was attested by the tradition that the Law given to Moses on the Mount was engraved on tablets of sapphire. This is not the blue sapphire we think of as the faceted gemstone, but instead the rich blue stone now relatively popular in jewelry known as lapis or lapis lazuli. It was well known and often used by the ancients as a blue paint pigment when ground to a powder. Much of what is now sold comes from Afghanistan.

Lapis Lazuli/Sapphire  is a wonderful healing stone.  It alleviates pain, especially that of migraine headaches. Lapis overcomes depression, benefits the respiratory, nervous systems, throat, larynx and thyroid, cleanses organs, bone marrow and thymus.  It overcomes hearing loss, purifies blood, and boosts the immune system.  Lapis alleviates insomnia and vertigo while it lowers blood pressure.  Lapis opens the third eye chakra and balances the throat chakra. It stimulates enlightenment and enhances dream work.  Lapis quickly releases stress, bringing deep peace and possessing enormous serenity  which is the key to spiritual closeness to God.  It teaches the power of the spoken word, and can reverse curses or dis-ease caused by not speaking out in the past.  Lapis harmonizes the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.  It encourages taking charge of life, revealing inner truth, encourages self awareness and allows self-expressions without holding back or compromising.  Lapis brings the enduring qualities of honesty, compassion, and uprightness to the personality.  It aids in expressing your own opinions and harmonies conflict and teaches the value of active listening.  Lapis bonds relationships in love and friendship and aids expressing feelings and emotions.  It dissolves emotional bondage.

Lapis Luzli is a stone with a hardness of #5-#6.

I’ve been so blessed to have  located some wonderful Lapis Luzuli stones.  The jewelry that I’ve created is available for sale at my business.  My clients are able to take advantage of the healing properties by wearing necklaces,  earrings, bracelets and anklets.
