Your Lapis Lazuli Pendulum

Lapis Lazuli has a long history as a protective stone and was worn or carried as a safeguard against the evil eye and other unwanted influences. In ancient Greek and Roman times, ornamental Lapis Lazuli stones and statuettes were valued for their protective qualities. In Medieval Europe, the stone came to symbolize light and wisdom overcoming darkness.

Today, Lapis Lazuli is valued as a stone of truth, honesty and communication. Crystal practitioners use it to support self-expression, clear thinking and spiritual insight.

Lapis Lazuli Through History

Lapis lazuli has been prized for thousands of years, and few ancient civilizations valued the deep blue stone more highly than the Egyptians. It was used in jewelry, amulets, and decorative inlays, where its rich blue color was often combined with gold, turquoise, and other precious materials. Lapis lazuli was especially valuable because it had to reach Egypt through long-distance trade from sources in Central Asia, including the ancient mines of what is now Afghanistan.

Its importance continued long after ancient Egypt. Ground and carefully processed lapis lazuli became the source of ultramarine, an exceptionally valuable blue pigment used by artists for centuries. The stone’s remarkable history helps explain why lapis lazuli became so closely connected with royalty, honor, and spiritual significance.
