Lapis Lazuli Merkaba

A Merkaba is a sacred geometric symbol representing the human energy field. When crafted from lapis lazuli, a deep blue stone known for its wisdom and intuition, it becomes a powerful tool for spiritual growth and ascension.

Lapis lazuli is a rock that contains lazurite, calcite, pyrite, mica, sodalite, and sometimes diopside. The presence of lazurite gives lapis lazuli its distinct blue colour, and specimens with a green tint to them have an abundance of pyrite and diopside. Since ancient times, lapis lazuli has been used as a blue pigment, and the stone was a favourite among ancient Egyptian artists and royalty, who saw it as a connection to the sky gods. The ancients believed lapis lazuli to represent purity, peace, and all things holy. Legend has it that Cleopatra would have this gem ground into a fine powder to wear as eye shadow; she believed the gem would bring her eternal life and power and even had her palace walls inlaid with it. Throughout history, the gem has also been widely used throughout Europe and the Middle East. Today, it remains a popular choice around the world for jewellery and crystal healing.
