Mothers Day Gifts - Lapis Lazuli

LAPIS LAZULI Lapis Lazuli, or ‘blue stone’, is formed during the metamorphosis of chalk into marble. Gold-coloured pyrite inclusions occur wherever iron is present giving the Lapis crystal its distinctive golden shimmer. Known as the ‘stone of rulers’ Lapis was used and worn in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt - a favourite of Pharaohs, Emperors, kings and priests. The stunning deep blue gemstones are believed to have healing and protective properties especially when worn around the neck and throat. They are also regarded as symbols of inner truth and friendship.
