Lapis lazuli has been treasured throughout history for its vibrant blue, a symbol of honor, royalty, power and spirituality. Its deep blue with golden specks of pyrite and a hint of red undertone makes every cube its own small piece of night sky.
Each piece is tumbled into a smooth cube. The square shape symbolizes stability, structure and grounding energy, said to enhance manifestation and organization.

What is lapis lazuli?
Lazurite, calcite and pyrite in one stone.
Lapis lazuli is a rock made mostly of lazurite, a complex blue mineral, with white calcite and gold-toned pyrite. It forms through contact metamorphism, giving it its deep blue with golden specks.
It has been valued and traded for over 6,000 years in regions such as Afghanistan, Africa and Europe. The word “lapis” is linked to the Persian word for blue, and the stone was ground into ultramarine, a prized pigment exported for artists’ paints. Lapis has also long been shaped into beads, cabochons and carvings.
A stone of wisdom, truth and inner vision.
In crystal tradition, lapis lazuli is said to enhance spiritual growth, inner vision and insight, promoting clarity and self-awareness, and to stimulate the mind, encouraging intellectual exploration, creativity and critical thinking. It is believed to aid communication and expression, supporting effective communication skills and harmonious relationships.
Lapis lazuli is associated with the Third Eye chakra, supporting intuition, spiritual awareness and access to higher consciousness.
Through the ages, crystals and stones have been collected and prized for their timeless beauty, their rich history and their spiritual and metaphysical properties. We believe in the mystical properties of crystals, though nothing we sell comes with a magical guarantee.
