In the center of America’s Four Corners Region , Chaco Canyon is an arid, desolate place, sprinkled with the occasional, lonely juniper tree, cactus, or sage bush. Hundreds of mysterious, ancient structures haunt this canyon and the entire region, meticulously aligned along the paths of the Sun, Moon, and constellation Orion.
 
Lapis Lazuli has been used since ancient times and remains popular today. This gemstone has been prized for its bright, blue color and used for inlay and intarsia, as well as for pigments for cosmetics and paintings. Its contrast and eye appeal are irresistible. Today, jewelry is its predominant use.
​The colors of lapis range from a medium, grayish-blue to intense, royal blue, to deep indigo, with varying amounts of white and brassy gold from calcite and pyrite inclusions. Some purists desire a specimen that's entirely lazurite, a deep and uniform blue, but must seek a piece with a moderate to a generous sprinkling of golden-colored pyrite.
​
Many believe that Lapis is a stone of wisdom, intuition, and truth, the Lapis Lazuli meaning is known as a powerful crystal for anyone seeking to deepen their connection to self. The Lapis Lazuli properties are known for opening the third eye chakra, the center of intuition and inner wisdom. By enhancing your ability to turn inward and uncover your truth, the energy of the Lapis Lazuli crystal meaning can support anyone ready to step into their power and authentic self.
