Historical Lore:
Lapis lazuli has been used since antiquity, with major historical sources in Afghanistan, particularly the Badakhshan region. It was highly valued in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley civilization, where it was used in jewellery, amulets, and ceremonial objects. In ancient Egypt, it was also ground into pigment to create ultramarine for art and decoration. Lapis lazuli was widely traded across early civilizations and considered one of the most prized decorative stones due to its intense blue colour.
