Take one look at gold-flecked lapis lazuli and it's no surprise that ancient Egyptians associated the stone with a starry night sky. Beyond this association, the stone has a storied history spanning civilaizations and cultures. Its name alone has origins in both Latin and Persian. A favorite of several ancient cultures, Sumerians were so enchanted by lapis lazuli that they believed that the spirits of their gods lived within the stone. Cleopatra even used the stone for eyeshadow! In the Middle Ages, lapis lazuli was ground to make ultramarine blue paint. And in more recent history, the stone is associated with a royalty, strength, and wisdom.
