AAA Lapis Lazuli Raw Stone — Genuine Gem Grade Blue

This AAA Lapis Lazuli raw stone comes in high-quality gem grade, sold by weight so you can choose the size that suits you. Lapis has been treasured since ancient Egypt as the stone of wisdom and truth, and its deep blue, flecked with gold, has made it one of the most recognisable stones in history.

Why does lapis lazuli carry so much history? The ancient Egyptians associated it with the night sky and the realm of the gods, using it in royal jewellery and the death masks of pharaohs. It's tied to the third eye and throat chakras, believed to sharpen intuition and support honest, clear communication, which is why it's still a favourite for meditation and for simply carrying a piece of that history close.

A closer look

Those golden flecks running through genuine lapis are natural pyrite, once seen by the Egyptians as tiny reflections of the stars, which is part of what gives the stone its distinctive night-sky look. Raw, unpolished lapis like this shows the stone in its natural state rather than smoothed and shaped, letting the pyrite and the deep blue lazurite sit right on the surface.

Living with your lapis

Hold it during meditation, place it on your desk as a steady visual anchor, or simply keep it somewhere you'll see it through the day. Lapis is a relatively soft stone, so keep it away from harsh chemicals and sudden knocks, and give it a gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
