This is a gorgeous free standing sculpture of very nice lapis lazuli.
We just couldn't resist these large palm sized lapis lazuli freeforms. The colors are just amazing, so deep and rich, a true royal blue. They feel amazingly good in the hand, helping to balance and energize at the same time. I can even see them being used during massage as it stimulates the endocrine and immune systems. These stones are a bit on the pricey side, but we're trying to keep them more affordable because their energy needs to be shared.
Lapis Lazuli has been used for centuries in many different cultures. No wonder with the rich blue shades speckled with gold pyrite and white calcite it is a very rich looking stone. Ancient Egyptians not only use it for decoration of tombs, in jewelry, it was also ground into powder to use as medicine and eye shadow! China and Europe have a history of using Lapis Lazuli in decorations. Lapis Lazuli is known for its work in opening the third eye. It is known as a stone to bring one to inner peace. It assists during meditation providing one self-knowledge and reflection. It also has a soothing energy. It assists one to identify and dispel negative thought patterns, and is especially healing for any abuse survivor. Its calming energy also assists one to overcome insomnia.
Lapis lazuli is said to enhance one's awareness, insight and intellect. It is also said to impart ancient knowledge and wisdom, bringing peacefulness and self-acceptance. Lapis lazuli is said to help cure depression, insomnia, recurring fevers, vision and hearing problems, and disorders of the throat, lungs and immune system.
