Lapis lazuli: the stone that helps you see with your soul
I'm going to tell you something that, if you're a little sensitive to energy or simply curious on the inside, you're going to like.
Lapis lazuli is not just a pretty stone with golden sparkles. It's a stone that keeps silent… but tells you a lot.
I discovered it years ago, at a time when I was trying to understand more about what was happening inside me. I had no idea about chakras or lithotherapy, but something about it drew me in. Its deep blue color, almost like the sky before nightfall.
And since then, he hasn't let go of me.
What is so special about lapis lazuli?
First, the physical characteristics: it's a stone formed primarily of lazurite , which gives it its unique blue color. Sometimes it has golden veins of pyrite, or white veins of calcite. No two are alike.
But what's truly interesting is how it makes you feel . Lapis lazuli isn't a light or friendly stone. It's serious. It invites you to look inward, to listen to what you sometimes don't want to hear... and to do so without fear.
It's a stone for the mind and soul . To connect with your truth, with your intuition, with that inner voice that we sometimes drown out with noise.

A little bit of history… because this stone has been speaking for centuries.
Did you know that in Ancient Egypt they used it in funerary masks, like that of Tutankhamun?
They did not see it as an ornament, but as a bridge to the sacred.
In Mesopotamia, it was considered "the stone of the gods".
In Persia they said that the night sky was made of lapis lazuli.
And for centuries, artists ground it up to create the most valuable blue pigment: ultramarine .
It has always been associated with wisdom, inner vision, and divine communication . This is no coincidence. There is something in its energy that reminds us of what we already know, but have forgotten.
What works energetically?
If you feel you have good intuition but find it difficult to listen to it, or if you want to express yourself clearly, lapis lazuli can help you a lot.
Third eye : activates your intuition, connecting you with that part of yourself that sees beyond the obvious. Ideal for meditation, channeling ideas, or simply understanding yourself better.
Throat chakra : It helps you speak your truth . Not the filtered version, but what you truly feel and think. Sometimes what we don't say stays in the body, and this stone helps release that.
Furthermore, it feels like a shield. A kind of filter that allows you to be open, yes, but without losing yourself. It keeps you present, but with your heart protected.
On an emotional level… calm and clarity
One of the things I appreciate most about lapis lazuli is how it calms the mind . When I have repetitive thoughts, or when I feel emotionally overwhelmed, this stone helps me breathe more deeply.
💙 Calm your mind without disconnecting.
💙 It gives you clarity in the midst of chaos.
💙 It strengthens your self-esteem, because it connects you with your inner voice.
It's ideal if you're going through an emotional healing process, or if you need to regain your self-confidence.
It is not a stone to "run away" from, but to see with more truth and gentleness.
And physically, is it useful for anything?
As you can imagine, it doesn't replace any other treatment. But if you're interested in a holistic approach, I'll tell you how it's used in lithotherapy:
Throat and breathing : it is said to help with hoarseness, cough, or tension in this area.
Nervous system : many people feel that it relieves headaches, especially if they are related to stress.
Immunity : Some therapists use it as a support to strengthen the immune system during recovery processes.
Again: it doesn't work miracles, but it can be a good energy booster .

How to use it in your life?
There are many ways, and none is "more valid" than another. The important thing is that you do it intentionally. Here are some ideas that work:
🔹 During meditation : place it on your third eye, or simply hold it. It helps you enter a state of calm and openness more quickly.
🔹 As jewelry : a necklace near the throat, a bracelet, a ring. When it's in contact with the skin, its energy is transmitted more effectively.
🔹 At home : on your desk, on the bedside table, in a corner where you need peace.
🔹 In rituals or writing : if you do journaling or introspection exercises, having it nearby enhances the process.
🛁 Some people prepare elixirs or use it in energy baths, but with caution: do not immerse it directly in water because it contains minerals such as pyrite that can be damaged.
In jewelry and accessories
And how do I take care of it?
Lapis lazuli is delicate. It doesn't like water or salt.
🌬️ Cleaning:
-
Pass it through the smoke of palo santo, incense, or sage.
-
You can also use sound: a Tibetan singing bowl, a bell, your own voice.
-
Or bury it for a few hours in dry soil (without moisture).
🌙 Recharge:
-
Full moonlight.
-
Alongside white quartz or amethyst.
If you use it daily, clean it every week. If it's more occasional, once a month is fine.
How can you tell if your lapis lazuli is real?
Today there are many imitations, mostly made of dyed howlite or glass. Here are some clues to help you identify an authentic one:
✔️ Deep but natural blue, with variations.
✔️ Small golden veins of pyrite (not shiny like glitter).
✔️ Some white or grey areas of calcite.
✔️ It should not release color if you wet it (if it does, it's fake).
It's best to buy from trusted sources. If the price seems too good to be true… it probably isn't real lapis lazuli.
