Its hue is so unique that it has been awarded its very own name: ultramarine. Lazurite is most often found in Afghanistan. When used on the Third Eye chakra ,lazurite is said to promote visions and help the person develop their psychic abilities. It is often used to enhance memory and may be helpful when studying or working. It can be used during meditation to help uncover past memories, expand awareness, and allow for spiritual growth. It is considered a protective stone that will help with self-acceptance issues. Lazurite dates back to ancient Egypt, where it had the regal role as the prominent blue pigment used for decorating pharaoh's coffins. It is the basis for lapis lazuli, a beautiful gemstone that is highly desired by collectors, and the original ultramarine pigment for paint, which was prized above gold at one point.
