LAPIS LAZULI, THE STONE OF HEIGHTS
Let's start with a little etymology: the name lapis lazuli comes from the Latin "lapis" meaning "stone" and the Arabic "azul" meaning "blue". A simple blue stone, then, but one that surprises with its complexity, and attracts with its resemblance to a starry sky. Between intense blue and gold flakes (actually pyrite flakes), it captivates.
As if it were trying to get closer to the starry sky, lapis lazuli stone can only be found high up in the sky. It is difficult to find, and is only found in an isolated province of Afghanistan and in some places in Chile.
Some think it's studded with gold, others see it as a symbol of sensitivity, emotion or spirit, the lapis lazuli blue stone is bursting with benefits.
HOW TO WEAR IT THIS SUMMER?
Blue stones have the advantage of matching and enhancing your summer outfits!
Paired with white, gray or gold, lapis lazuli will add a touch of color. Dare to go tone-on-tone with a full denim outfit!
But you can also combine it with brighter colors for an intense result, such as orange, green or yellow!
