This stone is derived from various minerals. It gets its beauty and spiritual powers from all of them. The spiritual value of this stone was recognized since ancient Egypt, where the stone was found in jewels, tombs and sculptures.
In this culture, they believed that the stone can open a portal to the spiritual world. Already in Catholicism, it was very common to see the presence of the precious stone in paintings of the Virgin Mary, associating purity, innocence and transparency.

We know it as the stone of good humor and communication, supporting people who develop intellectual activities.
How to use Lapis Lazuli?
For meditation, you should position the stone on the front chakra (also known as third eye) between the eyebrows. This positioning also induces intelligence and psychic power. For the physical body, one should use the stone as an amulet or also place it on the third eye chakra. It helps to regulate the nervous system, brain, nose and eyes in that position. To develop good humor and communication, we suggest to put the stone on your desk, it can be in the drawer or next to the computer.
