Lapis Lazuli is not actually a crystal, but a rock comprised of the minerals lazurite (deep, rich blue) calcite (white) and pyrite (gold flecks).

It is renowned as a ‘spiritual stone’, with a long association with wisdom and truth, and is considered by many to be useful for psychic protection.

Lapis has a strong affinity with the brow chakra/third eye. It is calming to the everyday mind and can help to bring a sense of clear perspective. To me, the main gift and power of Lapis Lazuli is to take us deep within to access our own wisdom and truth. In my experience, it is one of the main stones to access past life memories. When the time is right, this can happen very quickly.
