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...
I have a lot to tell you about this stone. Blue Tiger Eye is often called Hawek Eye. It is a very soothing stone. It aids in reducing stress, increasing calm, and easing anxiety. This lovely blue stone can illuminate issues that may have been difficult to see otherwise. Hawe Eye helps to open, clear, and align the mid to higher range chakras, which will assist in speaking with clarity and acting from a place of integrity. Hawk Eye works extremely well with the Throat and Third Eye chakras, providing insight into internal conflicts and emotional or mental issues. It brings a "go with the flow" attitude, aiding in relief from fears, phobias, and hot tempers. Use Hawk Eye to balance the male/female, Yin/Yang energies....
