True Blue
Lapis Lazuli is a very rich blue (almost purple) stone used for centuries by the Egyptians for medicinal purposes and cosmetics when ground. Romans actually used lapis as an aphrodisiac! In the middle Ages, the ground powder when mixed with milk was used to cure ulcers and was believed to maintain a healthy skeletal system when worn. When worn around the neck, Blue Lapis is said to energize the throat chakra and when placed over the brow, is said to induce a heightened level of awareness.
