Deep royal blue flecked with gold
Lapis Lazuli
Truth, wisdom & expression · Throat & Third Eye chakra
Lapis lazuli is the deep royal-blue stone flecked with gold, so treasured in the ancient world that pharaohs were buried with it and Renaissance painters ground it into the priceless blue of the Madonna’s robes. It has always been the stone of kings, scholars and truth-tellers.
What it means
Lapis lazuli is read as a stone of truth, wisdom and expression — a crystal of the throat and the mind that encourages honesty, deepens understanding and helps you speak your truth with clarity. It is the scholar’s stone, said to sharpen the intellect and free an honest voice.

Lapis lazuli tends to draw people who think and communicate for a living — writers, speakers, seekers, anyone who values truth and wants to say what they mean. If you struggle to speak up or want deeper wisdom behind your words, this is the stone said to give you both the insight and the voice.
