Lazurite was first described in 1890 for an occurrence in the Sar-e-Sang District, Koksha Valley, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan. It has been mined for over 6,000 years in the lapis lazuli district of Badakhshan, Afghanistan. 

It has been used as a pigment in painting and cloth dyeing since at least the sixth or seventh century AD. 

It is also mined at Lake Baikal in Siberia; Mount Vesuvius; Burma; Canada; and the United States. The name is from the Persian lazward for blue.

Lazurite is called a ‘stone of heaven’, bringing in the clarity and purity of energy from the forces of the universe. This ‘heavenly’ stone is excellent in meditation to take one to the home of euphoria. It promotes calming and enhances sanctity within ones being.

Wearing this Lazulite near the throat area assists with clarity in speech & thoughts. This stone assists with the gift of clairaudience or 'hearing' outside of the physical realm.

It was used by the ancients as a ‘worry stone’ which provided insight to worries and encouraged the application of intuitive answers.

A couple of weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with one of my colleagues. We were discussing the different rates that some of some of the different energy workers.  There seems to be some who have opinions that rates may be exorbitant with some of the healers, energy workers or mediums. I gave myself a few days to think about the conversation and get clear on what I thought about the differences in rates.

There may be some rates are so high that the middle class or lessor cannot afford them. What if this energy work is just for those of the upper class?
