Lapis Lazuli has become one of my favorite stones for mindfulness and self-reflection. Its deep blue color always reminds me to slow down, trust my intuition, and speak honestly. I’ve noticed that wearing a Lapis Lazuli bracelet during work or meditation helps me feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to my thoughts. It’s more than jewelry to me — it feels like a quiet reminder to stay true to myself.

Seine intensive Farbe verdankt Lapis Lazuli dem Mineral Lazurit: Schwefelionen in der Kristallstruktur erzeugen das leuchtende Ultramarinblau. Goldene Pyrit-Einschlüsse erinnern oft an einen Sternenhimmel. Seit über 6000 Jahren wird der Stein u. a. in Badachschan (Afghanistan) abgebaut und war schon in der Antike begehrt.

“There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of silver and gold; lapis lazuli & jasper are there; and all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates; let him stand on the floor of the palace.”

Lapis Earth
My absolute unit of a Grand Master award arrived!
My Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award arrived yesterday…I kept trying to get a decent picture of it to show the lovely colours of all the different stones.1 I tried dim light, bright light, sunlight… All the things. None of them conveyed its true glory—and sheer size. It’s well over 30 cm tall, maybe 11 cm square, and its weight is not trivial (though only about half what it might be if it were made of glass).
Then I lugged it into my office and stuck it on my desk while I decide what to do with it. Serendipitously I put it in front of a padded mailer (which I’m about to sent out to the winning bid on one of my Locus pledges) and that made everything look much nicer.
Well, that’s betterSo then I futzed about a bit more and finally got a picture of the lapis sphere. It’s huge—at least squash-ball size—and in front of the buff envelope it looked its proper colour. Also remarkably like our planet turning serenely in space.
So here you go: my Damon Knight Memorial planet, Lapis Earth.

The color comparison is off. Lapis Lazuli was the old ultramarine blue before chemistry industry found was to make it artificially.
Lapis Lazuli is the blue of kings, because it was so expensive. It's a royal blue.

An extraordinary cabinet made in Rome c.1640 using lapis lazuli, the 'stone of heaven' prized throughout history for its bewitching colour evoking gold-speckled clouds on an intense blue sky.
The lapis lazuli would have travelled from the Sar-e Sang mines in the Koksha river valley of Persia, today situated in northern Afghanistan.
This is one of the only cabinets of its kind covered in the rare stone. Belton House, Lincolnshire #furniture #lapislazuli

I don't travel much, but I was in New York City recently, and ended up on the highway outside of the city.
The fact that this landscape in #NewJersey was so close to how "Jersey" is depicted in #StephenUniverse is absolutely hilarious.
(Yes, I know not all of New Jersey actually looks like this. 😁 )

This is from Attire's Mind's on Facebook: "Skipping backwards into the BCE we find this amazing drinking vessel, a rhyton in the shape of a mountain goat that is carved from a piece of lapis lazuli with solid gold horns. It comes from the 6th to 5th centuries BCE in Persia. Originating within the Achaemenid Empire, sometimes called the First Persian Empire, it was founded by Cyrus the Great in 550 BCE. It was at the time the largest empire up to that point covering over 5.5 million square kilometers.
As a side note a rhyton is a cup in the form of an animal’s head, typically with the drinking vessel arcing upwards behind it."
Today I spent some time working on this magnificent little lapis lazuli Bes amulet at Manchester Museum - the intensity of the colour of the lapis lazuli is just gorgeous, and he still has remnants of gold leaf on his head 😍

Lapis Lazuli. The rock that’s so pretty sometimes it’s confused for a gem. The stone is famously inlaid on King Tut’s tomb. These are new today. #jewelry #earrings #lapislazuli #newyork
