I wear Lapis Lazuli when communication is important. I first used it to navigate a challenging divorce and have since used it for job interviews and presentations. Lapis Lazuli is a stone of truth. Wear it for all forms of loving communication and to insure long-term bonds. Bringing harmonious energy, it also encourages objectivity, clarity, creative thinking, and compromise. It promotes self-awareness, and for standing up for yourself or taking charge of your life. Its energy instills trust and emotional harmony by dissolving self-doubts, defensive reactions, and emotional game-playing. Like any other natural product there will be variation in color and quality between the beads. Accent bead is subject to change based on availability.
