Lapis was revered for thousands of years in ancient Egypt, where it was thought to guide the soul into immortality and allow the heart to be opened to love. The Royal Stone was rumoured to hold the gods’ souls. Lapis is thought to strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, purify the blood, and reduce any inflammation in the body.
