Lapis lazuli is one of the oldest and most precious gemstones in human history - revered from the pharaohs of Egypt to the kings of Tibet as a symbol of power, purity and divine connection. Its name combines Latin(lapis, stone) and Arabic(lazaward, heaven) - a term that aptly describes its deep blue color. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, it is the stone of the Medicine Buddha and stands for clarity, truth and inner wisdom. It is said to calm the mind, strengthen intuition and accompany the wearer on the path to knowledge.
