** Information on this Gemstone **
Mystical Properties: For the mystical properties of Lapis, in general, click HERE.
Lapis is associated with the 6th Chakra, or 3rd Eye.
Crushed Lapis used to comprise the ancient and very valuable pigment ultramarine.
Healing Properties: Most commonly thought to bring peace and soothe depression.
Scientific Properties: Composed of Lazurite (Sodium Calcium Aluminum Sulfate Silicate) with various other minerals, such as Pyrite.
Most of the Lapis at vendors/department stores is Chilean Lapis dyed to imitate the very expensive Afghanistan Lapis. Yes--it really is Lapis--but the bad news? Lapis does not take dye well and as soon as your item gets wet or you try to clean it--even in water--the dye comes off quite easily. How can you be sure? Wet your finger and rub the stone. If the intense blue coloration fades--you can bet its been dyed. For more information on detecting Lapis substitutes, see the bottom of the Afghanistan Lapis page.
Hardness: 5.0 - 5.5 on the Moh's Hardness Scale.
