The stone used is lapis lazuli, and the inserts are made of brass, so it is water-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word “lapis lazuli” comes from the Persian word “lazur,” meaning “blue stone.” Lapis lazuli generally comes from Afghanistan, but it is also found in Italy, Egypt, Chile, Russia, and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese stones are very shiny and beautiful to look at, but they can take on different colors depending on the traces present within them. They are normally found in blue and contain inclusions of white calcite and golden pyrite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapis lazuli has been known for thousands of years, dating back to the time of the pharaohs. It was always highly appreciated by the Egyptians, both as an amulet and for creating jewelry, and specimens have also been found in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the Bible, one of the stones in the breastplate of the High Priest of Jerusalem was lapis lazuli. Part of the Book of the Dead was written on a slab of this mineral, while classical texts document how ancient peoples placed great value on these splendid blue crystals. They were considered sacred stones, connected to spirituality, wisdom, enlightenment, and harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use lapis lazuli\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLapis lazuli is a stone that vibrates especially with the third eye chakra: it develops intuition by amplifying and expanding psychic and clairvoyant abilities. It activates the pineal gland and opens communication with one’s spiritual world, promoting the development of imagination. Like most blue stones, lapis lazuli also stimulates and activates the throat chakra.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a highly spiritual stone, it also vibrates with the fifth chakra, improving creativity, creating clarity in communication, and depth of thought. It is considered a crystal connected to truth, as it allows one to speak without betraying their heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrecisely because lapis lazuli helps develop depth of faith and great conviction, it increases self-confidence and understanding of one’s spirituality, leading toward the right decision. From this comes what is called “enlightenment,” that is, an instantaneous and surprising understanding of one’s spiritual path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding health, lapis lazuli is connected to the well-being of the thyroid, throat, immune system, respiratory system, and nervous system. It seems that wearing the mineral can relieve migraines and help those who feel anxious or depressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapis lazuli is usually quite easy to find, precisely because they are very beautiful stones that make splendid jewelry, such as pendants and necklaces if you want to keep them close to the throat chakra, or in the form of earrings if you want to keep them in the third eye area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tempo del Sogno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54844321268053,"sku":"CM-RaggioLapislazzuli","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/0849\/9797\/files\/collana-raggio-in-macrame-lapislazzuli.jpg?v=1788517943","url":"https:\/\/tempodelsogno.it\/en\/products\/collana-raggio-in-macrame-lapislazzuli-1018","provider":"Tempo del Sogno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
