LAPIS LAZULI

Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth.

From antiquity, lapis lazuli has been worn in the belief that it will ward off evil.

Lapis Lazuli releases stress, bringing deep peace.  It brings harmony and deep inner self-knowledge.  Stimulates objectivity, clarity and encourages creativity.  Lapis Lazuli assists to confront and speak one’s truth and inspires confidence. 

Lapis Lazuli boosts the immune system, purifies blood, lowers blood pressure, cooling and soothing for areas of inflammation.  It alleviates insomnia and vertigo, and overcomes depression. 

Lapis Lazuli benefits the respiratory and nervous systems and the throat, vocal cords, and thyroid, cleanses organs, bone marrow and thymus.

This gua sha tool is around 8cm long. The stones are natural and unique, thus all slightly different in color.
