Pyrite is a great mineral for treating physical burnout. It is recommended that a piece be placed on the solar plexus to achieve maximum energizing results. As Pyrite is largely iron and gold in color, it grounds the gold ray into the physical body. You may also point other higher vibrational crystals such as Citrine and Topaz towards/touching the Pyrite and it will ground those crystals’ gold ray energies into the physical body as well! Pyrite aids digestion, treats blood disorders and relieves depression. It has regenerative powers on physical and emotional levels.
This multi-talented mineral is a fantastic companion to have and carry around. It often comes on and inside other crystals such as Fluorite, Quartz, Lapis, and other high energy crystals!

Lapis Lazuli is one of the most historically significant stones known to humankind, prized since antiquity for its deep blue color and symbolic association with truth, wisdom, and authority. It has been used for jewelry, carvings, sacred objects, and pigments for over 6,000 years.
Ancient civilizations including the Egyptians, Sumerians, Persians, and Greeks revered Lapis as a stone of royalty and spiritual insight. The famed ultramarine pigment used in Renaissance art was ground from high-quality Lapis Lazuli.
The finest traditional material comes from the legendary mines of Badakhshan, Afghanistan, which have been worked continuously since ancient times. Other sources include Chile, Russia, and Pakistan, though Afghan Lapis remains the benchmark for quality.
Lapis Lazuli is not a single mineral, but a rock composed primarily of lazurite, with varying amounts of calcite and pyrite. The deep blue color comes from lazurite, while pyrite appears as golden metallic flecks and calcite as white veining or patches.
Lapis forms in contact metamorphic environments, typically within limestone that has been altered by nearby igneous intrusions. The interlocking nature of its components gives Lapis both visual depth and energetic complexity.

The naturally occurring pyrite within Lapis Lazuli is not a flaw—it is an essential component. Pyrite contributes grounding, stabilizing qualities and adds contrast that enhances both the visual and energetic balance of the stone.
⚠️ Handling:
Lapis Lazuli is softer than Quartz and should be handled with care to avoid scratches or chipping.
🧼 Cleaning:
Avoid water immersion. Clean gently with a dry or barely damp cloth. Do not soak or use chemicals.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable, but prolonged direct sunlight may dull surface polish over time.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately from harder stones. Polished pieces benefit from padded storage.
