🧬 Geological Profile

Lapis Lazuli is not a single mineral but a metamorphic rock composed primarily of Lazurite, with inclusions of Calcite, Pyrite, and sometimes Sodalite. Its name combines Latin lapis (stone) and Persian lāzaward (sky/heaven), reflecting its celestial hue.

Global Sources:

  • Afghanistan (Sar-e-Sang, Hindu Kush Mountains – highest grade)

  • Chile (Andes), Russia, Canada, USA, Burma

Unlike most crystals, Lapis forms in caves rather than traditional mines. Due to its popularity, it is frequently imitated—often with dyed Agate. Authentic Lapis is heavier, matte in finish, and features natural Pyrite specks and subtle Calcite veining.

🕰 Historical & Cultural Legacy

Lapis Lazuli has shaped civilizations:

  • Ancient Egypt: Used in amulets, scarabs, and the funerary mask of Tutankhamun. Cleopatra wore it as powdered eyeshadow.

  • Mesopotamia & Hebrews: Worn in ceremonial robes and traded as sacred currency.

  • Renaissance Art: Ground into ultramarine pigment for masterpieces by Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

  • Biblical Reference: In Exodus, Lapis is described as the stone beneath the feet of God.

Lapis was revered as a stone of royalty, intellect, and divine connection—used by kings, queens, and mystics to access higher wisdom and spiritual guidance.
