Hello, beautiful souls! It’s a stunning day out there today, the cruise ships are in, and Wellington is looking stunning!
Today’s a perfect day to embark on a journey into the enchanting world of Lapis Lazuli, a mystical stone with a rich history spanning over 6,000 years.
Lapis Lazuli has held immense value throughout history. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Sumerians, and Babylonians highly esteemed it for its use in jewelry, amulets, and ground into a prized pigment known as ultramarine. In the Middle Ages, ultramarine’s value surpassed that of gold, making it a reserved commodity for holy figures, particularly the Virgin Mary in Christian art. However, the advent of synthetic versions in the 19th century rendered ultramarine obsolete.
Lapis Lazuli held deep mystical significance for Queen Cleopatra, symbolizing power, royalty, and divinity. She incorporated it into her cosmetics, creating the iconic blue eyeshadow that she believed enhanced her intuition and power. Now, let’s explore how we can harness the magic of Lapis Lazuli in our modern lives.
Lapis Lazuli: Inner Truth – Self-expression – Leadership
Lapis Lazuli is a crystal of confidence, courage and bold leadership. It has been a favored stone used by royal leaders, including Cleopatra. It reveals one’s inner truth, encourages self-awareness and allows for self-expression without holding back or compromising. Lapis Lazuli is an excellent stone for leaders as it stimulates wisdom and good judgement. It also promotes authenticity and clear communication. Lapis Lazuli encourages the qualities of honesty, compassion and uprightness when dealing with others, particularly teenagers.
I hope you enjoyed today’s discussion. We have beautiful Lapis Lazuli available in both our Wellington and Levin shops, as well as the crystals shown today, which are available on our website: https://www.capricornspirit.com.
