Lapis Lazuli

The name lapis lazuli means “blue stone.” The gorgeous blue color of lapis lazuli has attracted the attention of artists for thousands of years. Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with royalty, strength and courage, wisdom and intellect, friendship, and truth.

Whether one views lapis lazuli through the lens of ancient symbolism or contemporary holistic practices, its enduring allure and purported benefits continue to captivate people around the world.

Coral

Though it is most often thought of today as a stone, one of the most fascinating aspects of coral is the way it is made. First thought to be a plant, coral gained the nickname “garden of the sea”.  Later information revealed it to be what is known as an organic gemstone.

Due to its red brilliance, the stone is also believed by some to aid the body’s circulatory system, cleansing the blood as it flows through the person wearing it. Its presence is believed to stimulate and nourish blood cells and the bones.

Some believe wearing coral will restore peace and tranquility to the wearer’s heart or help them draw love into their lives. For those looking to make changes to their lives, the stone is believed to aid the wearer in releasing the past and turning toward new ways.
