Symbolic

Among the Sumerians the Lapis-Lazuli represents the sky. It was for them the "stone of stones", a stone which they venerated. This gem is also "a cosmic symbol of the starry night" in pre-Columbian America (CHGH)

Its special color "creates an aura of tenderness and sympathy around its owner" (FLAM)

Ancient Beliefs

If you find a Lapis lazuli in a dream, a situation will turn to your advantage (DERR, CANA)

If during a dream you argue with a third person about a lapis lazuli, you should not sign any contract lightly in the days following this dream (DERR, CANA)
