Lapis lazuli is a vivid blue metamorphic rock and a gemstone that has been prized for its intense color and historical significance for thousands of years.  It's composed of lazurite (for the blue color), calcite, sodalite, and pyrite. It is the presence of pyrite that causes the gold-colored flecks or veins in the stone.  It has a moderate hardness, typically ranging from 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale.  High-quality lapis lazuli has been historically sourced from mines in Afghanistan; however, other deposits are found in countries such as Russia, Chile, Italy, and the United States.

Lapis lazuli has been used for various purposes throughout history. It has been highly prized for ornamental and decorative purposes, including as a gemstone in jewelry and art. The ancient Egyptians used it in the creation of jewelry, amulets, and cosmetics. The pigment ultramarine, derived from lapis lazuli, was highly valued by Renaissance painters.

Lapis lazuli is believed to promote self-awareness and mental clarity.

Tanzanite is renowned for its intense blue and violet colors, but can also be golden, green, lilac and peacock (blue and green). The sole source of tanzanite is the Merelani Hills in northern Tanzania. Discovered in the 1960s, tanzanite is considered rarer than diamonds due to its single-source origin. The mines in Tanzania are exhaustible, adding to the gemstone's allure.

With a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, tanzanite is relatively soft compared to some other gemstones. As a result, it requires gentle care to prevent scratches or damage.

Tanzanite is believed to aide with spiritual awareness, insight, and communication. Some attribute it with calming energies and the ability to enhance psychic abilities.

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals that are commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.  Apatite is named after the Greek word "apate," which means deceit, as it can be easily confused with other minerals due to its wide range of colors and forms. It can occur in various colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, and violet. 

Apatite is believed to possess healing properties and is associated with creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. It is thought to enhance communication skills, stimulate intellect, and promote clarity of thought.
