Lapiz Lazuli – The wisdom keeper is a deep Blue Semi-Precious metamorphic rock prized for its antiquity, thanks to its intense color. The Stone you use now has been highly valued by the Indus Valley Civilization(3300-1900 BCE). Afghanistan is the country which holds the significant top-notch quality of the stone as a primary country where it is mined for centuries.
The name Lapiz Lazuli, which sounds intense just like its color, as well as fancy, comes from a Latin word Lapis “Stone” and the Persian lazhuward “blue.” With the mineral in multiple stacks as Lazurite, Calcite, Pyrite and Sodalite, the rocks of this stone were formed. In ancient times, King Tutankhamen’s golden sarcophagus was laid with Lapis as well as other burial ornaments of the Egyptian kings and queen. Well, the name is fancy and so as its use since 4000 BC.
The stone is not only found in Afghanistan but also in Canada, Pakistan, Chile, Siberia, and the US. A planetary stone for Capricon and libra’s zodiac stone. Another Majestical history of the stone is that it was the part of the Breastplate of Judgement of Aaron and when it was first introduced in Europe it was called as ultramarinum as beyond the sea. In the times where the art and style got a birth, aka, Renaissance Lapis was recommended to be used, and Buddhists marked the stone to be used to bring out inner peace and freedom from negative solicitude.
