Lapis lazuli

Natural lapis lazuli cabochons.

Royal, ancient, and eternally magnificent — lapis lazuli is one of the most revered gemstones in human history, treasured by pharaohs, emperors, and Renaissance masters for over six thousand years.

Color: Deep, saturated ultramarine blue — often scattered with golden flecks of pyrite that glitter like stars against a midnight sky, and occasional veins of white calcite that trace through the stone like clouds. The colour is bold, regal, and utterly unmistakable.

Energy: Known as the stone of truth, wisdom, and royal power — lapis lazuli is believed to stimulate the intellect, enhance self-awareness, and encourage the courage to speak one's truth with clarity and confidence. It is said to open the third eye, deepen intuition, and connect its wearer to the ancient wisdom of the ages.

✦ A legacy in pigment: Ground lapis lazuli was the source of ultramarine — the most prized and expensive pigment of the Renaissance, used by Vermeer, Michelangelo, and da Vinci to paint the robes of the divine. To wear lapis is to carry that legacy.

A timeless and commanding choice for those who lead with wisdom, speak with authority, and wear their power with the quiet confidence of royalty.
