Greek goddess Athena was known to have a throne crowned in crystals of Lapis Lazuli. Rightfully so as she was the goddess of wisdom, rational thinking and the patroness of crafts. In crystal healing, Lapis Lazuli is said to ward off psychic disturbances by connecting with the throat and third eye chakras. It promotes clear thinking, communication and intuition. Natives to astrological signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Aquarius are especially well suited to the Lapis Lazuli frequency.

In the renaissance times Lapis Lazuli was crushed and its pigment used to make paint. It’s cost was equivalent to gold and therefore it was only used in art that deserved such a luxury, like painting the robes of Virgin Mary.

This necklace is a combination of gold-plated wire and a large Lapis Lazuli pendant. The chain measures 43 centimeters.
