Egyptian lapis lazuli was highly prized.

Egyptian lapis lazuli was highly prized. It was used in Egypt from the predynastic period to make amulets, and scarabs and as inlay in jewellery. No mines were known to be in Egypt, most lapis lazuli was sourced from Afghanistan and reached Egypt along the trade routes. Pharaohs favoured lapis lazuli as a powerful healing stone believed to impart awareness of the ancient knowledge and wisdom of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Lapis lazuli is a highly vibrational stone with endless potential.
