In the Native American tradition, the stone is thought to bring the wearer courage to endure hardship as well as protect from the evil eye. It is often worn to help the individual become more receptive to their culture's spiritual teachings.
Lapis is even featured in the bible! Biblical scholars believe that references in the Old Testament to "sapphire" actually indicate lapis lazuli, as the sapphire gemstone was not known in the Middle East before the Roman Empire. (Although Lapis Lazuli can be found around the world, The original source of Lapis Lazuli was the Sar-e-Sang deposit in the Badakhshan district of Afghanistan, which has been producing the stone for over 7,000 years.)
Now that is quite a history!
History aside, Lapis Lazuli is believed to have many healing properties, including promoting calm and tranquility, boosting self-awareness and self-confidence, and even benefiting physical health by enhancing immune system function and reducing blood pressure. Because it harmonizes the mind, body, and spirit, it is also known as the wisdom stone. Wearing it can help prevent mental attacks and reduce tension.

So it's a good thing it is only between five and six on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly suitable to make into jewelry that can be paired with just about any ensemble!
