{"product_id":"lapis-lazuli-obelisk-tower-large","title":"Lapis Lazuli Obelisk Tower - Large","description":"\u003cp\u003eLapis Lazuli has been one of the most prized stones in human history for over 6,000 years, used in the burial mask of Tutankhamun, ground into the ultramarine pigment that colored the robes of the Virgin Mary in Renaissance paintings, and worn by Sumerian royalty as a symbol of divine connection. The deep celestial blue of Lapis Lazuli, flecked with gold pyrite inclusions that resemble stars in a night sky, is one of the most immediately recognizable and visually commanding colors in the mineral world. This large \u003cstrong\u003eLapis Lazuli Obelisk Tower\u003c\/strong\u003e is polished to showcase the full depth of its blue matrix and the natural pyrite flecks, with the obelisk form directing its wisdom-enhancing energy upward through the apex with exceptional precision. Exact pick, one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Lapis Lazuli?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of lazurite, which gives it its characteristic deep blue color, along with calcite (white), pyrite (gold), and other minerals. It is not a single mineral but a rock composed of multiple minerals in varying proportions, which is why no two pieces are identical in their pattern of blue, white, and gold. The finest Lapis Lazuli comes from the Sar-e-Sang mines in Afghanistan, which have been mined continuously for over 6,000 years. Lapis Lazuli has a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6. In crystal healing, it is associated with wisdom, truth, inner vision, and the kind of deep, authoritative knowing that comes from genuine self-understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChakra Connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLapis Lazuli resonates with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/third-eye-chakra-crystals\"\u003eThird Eye Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e for inner vision, wisdom, and the ability to see truth clearly, and the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/throat-chakra-crystals\"\u003eThroat Chakra\u003c\/a\u003e for authentic, authoritative communication and the ability to speak truth with clarity and confidence.
