Lapis Lazuli Sphere A ~ Meditation & Spirituality
Lapis is a mixture of at least three minerals: lazurite, calcite & pyrite. Ground lapis was the secret of the blue in ultramarine, the pigment which painters used to paint the sea and the sky until the nineteenth century. It was said to impart ancient knowledge, and the wisdom to use it and to enhance one's awareness, insight and intellect. Lapis Lazuli is an ancient gem, and as such, has a storied history.
Egyptian cultures made a practice of burying a lapis lazuli scarab with their dead, and believed it to offer protection. The very earliest cultures valued lapis lazuli more highly than gold. Greeks spoke of an ancient sapphire which was included with gold, and this was unmistakably lapis. Some believed that dreaming of Lapis would foretell love that would be forever faithful. When working or meditating with Lapis Lazuli, it can bring matters more clearly to the mind.`
