Gorgeous large flat oval beads of Afghan lapis lazuli on 15-inch graduated strands with bead ranging from 35x22mm to 46x27mm
The finest royal blue Lapis comes from the West Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan.
Brilliant blue lapis gets its name from Arabic and Latin for “blue stone”
Beloved from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to Greece and Rome, Lapis was used it as a reward for bravery. It was also considered to be a stone of royalty in ancient Sumer, China, and later in Russia as well as other European countries.
It’s the birthstone for Virgo and December
Metaphysical: Lapis is known as the stone for spiritual seekers, and students.
Buddhists recommend Lapis for fostering inner peace and freedom from negative thoughts. For both its color and its energy, Lapis is one of my personal favorites and I like to use it with my Turkoman beads and pendants
