Tips for Choosing
Quality Guide
Only the finest quality, pure gems yield the therapeutic results we expect from gemstone energy medicine. The higher a gem’s quality, the more therapeutically powerful it is. As a gem rises in quality, its therapeutic potency often increases far more than its price. Going up even one level of quality can deliver many times more therapeutic power.
Gemstone Size
Next to quality, the most important factor in determining a gemstone’s therapeutic power is mass. Quality being equal, larger gems are more potent than smaller ones. If your neck is sensitive to weight, consider wearing somewhat smaller gems. Children usually require shorter necklaces and smaller gems.

Lapis Lazuli harmonizes your heart and mind as it forges stronger bonds between them. The energy radiated by Lapis can help you experience the energy and power you possess within. This power is greatest when the energies of your mind and heart come together—in other words, when your emotional and mental bodies are working in harmony. Lapis improves the connection, communication, and understanding between your heart and mind. When the mind is attuned to your emotions, it becomes richer, more fruitful, and bountiful. When feelings are illuminated by the mind, emotions are better understood. A strong connection between the heart and mind opens many possibilities. It expands your horizons and your potential.
When you wear Lapis Lazuli around your neck, it gradually and systematically identifies all the significant power points in your body. These points include your acupuncture points, chakras, and, to a lesser extent, your energy meridians. The Lapis then helps these points achieve equilibrium—points with excess magnetic energy are drained, and deficient points are filled with Lapis energy until they can regain their own strength. This promotes healing of the physical body and its energy flows at a fundamental level.
The energy of Lapis’ royal blue color can affect people deeply. This is because its color touches the optic nerve in an unusual way. Your optic nerve picks up impressions of what you see with your physical eyes as well as what you see in your dreams and inner visions. All these impressions stimulate the optic nerve. The energy of Lapis and its royal blue color impresses the optic nerve in a way that reminds your brain of a primordial memory—the memory of that which links you to your divine source.
For this reason, people are comforted and inspired by Lapis’ royal blue color. These feelings are often felt within moments of connecting with Lapis’ energy. When you feel comfortable, you feel freer—and with freedom comes confidence. This confidence gives you courage and the fearless, adventurous spirit needed to realize your dreams and to master life.
It takes practice to become a master, yet the potential to do so is available to everyone. Lapis Lazuli can help you attain mastery, perhaps more so than any other gemstone. This might be mastery of bread baking, piano playing, or of spirit itself. To become a master, first you must see your goal and then you must feel that you have attained it. Lapis can help you have these feelings. Lapis can help you see your goals and dreams and give you the courage to attain them. If you continue to wear Lapis, it will also help you to realize these dreams.
Lapis Lazuli’s therapeutic effectiveness depends on the character of its color and the amount of pyrite it contains. The richer and deeper its royal blue color and the less white it contains, the more powerful the Lapis is. Therapeutic Lapis contains a substantial amount of golden pyrite flecks but not to the point of overpowering the blue areas.
Lapis occurs in a wide continuum of quality, and the very finest quality is quite rare. Lower-quality Lapis is usually dyed to enhance its color and make it seem higher in quality. Unfortunately, any dye applied to Lapis Lazuli clogs its pores and renders it non-therapeutic.
All my life, I’ve been described as being very analytical, very passionate, and not very balanced. Wearing Lapis immediately calmed my thinking, and I became more stable emotionally. I was able to focus on the differences between my mind and heart and to appreciate their differences without either of them pushing for control.
M.R., Holborn, Great Britain
After graduating from college, I purchased a Lapis Lazuli necklace to maintain mental clarity, even in a stressful work environment. I was interested in trying Lapis, having heard it had been worn by kings, Egyptian pharaohs, and geniuses, including the Japanese master Kukai.
But I was worried about the quality of the stones, since there are many fake and low-quality products, and we customers don’t have the skills to determine quality. I chose Gemisphere for its tested healing quality. It was a big investment for a young college graduate. The gems I received were beautiful, with a deep-blue color and areas of gold.
Since I am a male businessman, and men do not commonly wear necklaces, I wore the Lapis Lazuli under my shirt. It helped me reduce stress and stay awake all day, even without coffee. After a year, I stopped wearing it every day, but the effects have lasted for years. Now I wear it when meditating to relieve stress or to help me make important decisions.
A.K.
Lapis Lazuli has become one of my favorite necklaces out of the approximately 30 Gemisphere necklaces that I've purchased. When I have an important decision to make, using Lapis allows me to make that decision in the most loving and heart-centered way for the benefit of all involved. With emotional situations, it allows me to see the overall picture more rationally, so I can solve problems quickly and fairly.
Perhaps the most wonderful thing about Lapis is that when I wear it, I feel a strong heart connection throughout my day. At the same time, my intellect feels elevated and alert and therefore better able to support my heart and feelings. My days with Lapis Lazuli feel like a high-flying kite of joy. I seem to see and feel everything from a higher, happier, and more expansive perspective.

I totally fell in love with Laps Lazuli when I started wearing it. When writing my book, I placed the necklace around my head and brow, as recommended for accessing deeper information from the mind. It was like falling into a big space inside, and the clarity in ideas, content, and language that emerged made me write effortlessly and with more joy. This happened again and again throughout the seven months I was writing. I know the Lapis experience enhanced the result and success of my book.

Wear It Around Your Neck
One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Lapis Lazuli necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.
When worn as a necklace, Lapis Lazuli produces its greatest effects when the necklace falls directly over the heart or as close to the heart as possible. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.
Focused Treatments
You can also use Lapis Lazuli for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl it up and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here are two other focused treatments you can perform with this necklace:
Lapis Lazuli Tisrati
Placing Lapis around the head in a “tisrati” can result in profoundly heightened mental awareness. To form a tisrati, encircle your head with the necklace so that it lies across your brow chakra and just above your ears. Fasten the necklace at the back of your head with a natural-fiber tie, allowing the excess to fall straight down toward your spine.
Lapis Lazuli spheres are placed over the brow chakra to produce a heightened state of awareness, in which the answers to important questions can be learned.
Time Guidelines
Lapis Lazuli can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes initiated by the gems by wearing them for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.
Cleanse Lapis Lazuli Regularly
To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Lapis Lazuli necklace. Learn more about these methods.
Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.
Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.
Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.
Caution: Avoid rinsing and clay cleansing, which will dull Lapis Lazuli’s polish.
When Your Necklace First Arrives
When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.
