Where Lapis Lazuli Is Found
Lapis Lazuli has been mined in Afghanistan's Badakhshan region for over 6,000 years - the same deposits that supplied ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia - and remains the finest source today. Chile and Russia's Lake Baikal region are secondary sources.
Use
Lapis Lazuli's deep midnight blue, flecked with golden pyrite, has long been associated with Saturn's disciplined, structuring energy, and is used as a supportive stone alongside or in place of Blue Sapphire.
