Prostrations Mala - Lapis Lazuli and Silver, 27 beads (8mm)
Lapis lazuli is one of the results of the transformation of chalk into marble. Its fame is due to its intense blue colour, with beautiful golden flecks and veins that glitter in the light. It has been used for decorative purposes in Asia since 3300 B.C. Since the late Middle Ages, lapis lazuli has been powdered to transform it into the pigment known as ultramarine, which was used by artists of the Baroque and Renaissance periods to adorn the most precious parts of their paintings.
In folk medicine, lapis lazuli is used to heal conditions originating from repressed anger that affect such organs as the larynx, thyroid and vocal cords. Spiritually, it is believed to help in revealing one’s own truth and removing obstacles. It enables the owner to be the ruler of their own spiritual world. It was also considered as an amulet for friendships.
