Recently, there has been quite a bit of controversy about Lapis Lazuli. Here's what I know about the shortage of Lapis out there in the marketplace. The largest mine in Afghanistan has been taken hostage by militia and the Taliban. Lapis is still being mined, but the price of the stone has risen astronomically. For both of these reasons, I am no longer purchasing this beautiful stone. I do have one piece of Lapis left in the store which was purchased before the mines in Afghanistan came under siege. Although, I advise against purchasing new stones until the mines are given back to the people they belong to, I do want you to know about the amazing properties of this stone so that you are educated about any stones you may already have in your possession or in case you are called to purchase the last piece in Elephantback's inventory.
Lapis Lazuli is a symbol of royalty and honor, gods and power, spirit and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. Lapis gives the wearer wisdom and the ability to discern truth.
Prayer/Meditation for Lapis Lazuli
Give me wisdom in all I do. Help me to walk in wisdom every day.
