September is traditionally associated with sapphire. In the Ovie universe, lapis lazuli is highlighted as a gemstone alternative for its deep blue color and ancient history.
In gemstone traditions, lapis lazuli is associated with wisdom, expression, and intuition. These associations are symbolic and do not describe demonstrated effects.
A blue rock used since antiquity
Lapis lazuli is a rock composed mainly of lazurite, often accompanied by calcite and pyrite. Its shades range from intense blue to lighter blue, sometimes dotted with golden pyrite flecks.
It has been used for thousands of years in jewelry, decorative objects, and pigments.
Traditional symbolism
Lapis lazuli is notably associated with:
- wisdom;
- expression;
- reflection;
- intuition;
- self-knowledge.
These meanings belong to traditions and do not describe an action produced by the stone.
Virgo, Libra, and chakras
In some astrological traditions, lapis lazuli is linked to Virgo and Libra. It is also symbolically associated with the throat chakra and third eye in some spiritual practices.
Wearing lapis lazuli
Its deep blue brings strong contrast to bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. It can be chosen for its color or for the personal meaning you give it.
Care
Avoid long immersion in water, chemicals, acids, steam, and ultrasonic cleaning. Instead, use a soft, slightly damp cloth, then dry carefully.
