Lapis Lazuli

	Ancient Egyptians used to bury a scarab made of Lapis Lazuli with their dead, believing it would offer protection in the afterlife. They also wore Lapis as a symbol of truth. Many very early cultures valued it more than gold. Some believed dreaming of Lapis meant that the person would find everlasting love and faithfulness. As a healing gem, Lapis is thought to bring clarity of mind and to open up many of the chakra centers.
