It is mainly made of Lazurite with some inclusions of white calcite, blue Sodalite and gold pyrite.

More than two thousand years BC, in Mesopotamia, the Sumerians, who called it “Sky Stone”, were importing it from Badakhshan (which is now between Afghanistan and Tajikistan) and were chiselling Lapis-lazuli talismans giving divine magic powers and protecting against bad luck.

Its midnight blue colour evokes the celestial sphere, the eyes of the di- vine, and its myriads of pyrite stars, sanctuary for the sacred souls.

In ancient Egypt, Lapis-lazuli is sought after for the manufacture of make-up products, jewellery, ornaments, statuettes and amulets includ- ing the “eye of Horus” and the “heart scarab” ...

Despite its significant cost, it also allowed to generations of painters to obtain the famous navy blue pigment, whose name comes from its origin.

Symbol of the celestial forces, of luck, sign of inspiration and intuition, alchemists linked lapis-lazuli to the Air element, the Libra element, associated to the third eye chakra.
