The Ancient Egyptians Highly Valued Lapis Lazulli: In Babylonia, Ur and ancient Egypt, lapis was very highly valued. Did you know that it was believed to cure melancholy and one particular kind of recurrent fever. In Rome it was considered a powerful aphrodisiac? In South America, the Chilean deposit of lapis lazuli was used by ancient civilizations at least 1500 years B.C.
Lapis has been Used in Jewelry for Centuries: Lapis has been highly prized as an ornamental stone for over 6000 years. The Lapis mines high above the Kokeha Valley in northeastern Afghanistan were ancient even when visited by Marco Polo in 1271! Perhaps because deep blue Lapis with its flakes of golden Pyrite resembles an evening sky dotted with sparkling stars, it was long regarded as a cure for melancholy (the "blues"), and as an amulet against the spirits of darkness.
