Lapis lazuli is a rock made mostly of lazurite, a complex blue mineral, with white calcite and golden pyrite. It forms through contact metamorphism, which gives it that deep blue color scattered with gold.
Each stone is tumbled into a rounded shape that sits comfortably in your grip during meditation or energy work.

A stone of wisdom, truth and inner vision.
In crystal tradition, the organic, rounded shape of a tumbled stone is said to promote a gentle, harmonious flow of energy and a natural connection with the stone’s properties.
Lapis lazuli is said to enhance spiritual growth, inner vision and insight, promoting clarity and self-awareness, and to stimulate the mind, encouraging intellectual exploration, creativity and critical thinking. It is believed to aid communication and expression, supporting effective communication skills and harmonious relationships. Associated with the Third Eye chakra, it is said to support intuition, spiritual awareness and access to higher consciousness.
Treasured for its vibrant blue as a symbol of honor, royalty, power and spirituality, lapis lazuli has been valued and traded for over 6,000 years across Afghanistan, Africa and Europe. Its name comes from the Persian word for blue. Ground down and exported, its blue with a hint of red undertone became ultramarine, a precious pigment coveted by artists, and the stone was also shaped into beads, cabochons and carvings. It is found in Afghanistan, Chile, Russia, Myanmar (Burma) and the United States.
Through the ages, crystals have been collected and prized for their beauty, their rich history and their spiritual and metaphysical properties. We believe in the mystical properties of crystals, though nothing we sell comes with a magical guarantee.
