Lapis lazuli is an extraordinary semi-precious stone with a characteristic deep blue colour. First historical mines were placed in area that is modern Afghanistan. On the India plateau it was known during the neolithis era among the Indus Valley Civilization. It's said lapis lazuli has energetic power to cleanse parts of the body it has contact with, and makes the person wearing it be recognized by the sympathy and love they win others with.
