Beautiful carved and polished lapis lazuli moons. These tiny carvings make a perfect pocket stone or keepsake item.
The crescent moon is often associated with feminine and goddess energy, as well as change, transformation and growth. The crescent moon shows the passage of time, as it waxes and wanes each month, representing the cyclical nature of life.
The most important mineral component of lapis is lazurite. A number of other minerals may be contained within the stone such as calcite, pyrite and sodalite. Ground lapis was the secret of the blue in ultramarine, the pigment which painters used to paint the sea and the sky until the nineteenth century. Used by some as a protective stone, it is said to be grounding with a strong connection to the earth and spirits of nature.
As a healing stone it is said to be helpful in ridding nightmares. Also helpful to calm an overworked and over stressed mind. It is thought to dispel negativity and create a peaceful environment.
