Lapis Lazuli, it’s meaning derived from Latin and Persian, means “stone blue.” Its deep ultramarine blue color endures as a symbol of royals, power, and spirit. It is known as an ancient universal symbol of wisdom and truth.
It brings congruence and profound inward introspection. It inspires impartiality, clearness, and heartens inspiration.
It bonds relationships, supporting in the expression of feelings and emotions.
