Why Libras Love Lapis Lazuli

  Libras love lapis lazuli because it empowers them to be their best selves in difficult situations. These balance-seeking, beauty-loving individuals can count on this deep blue stone to strive for their highest potential, to pursue peace at every turn, and to lead with their heart in every case.  

Libras, The Diplomats

We've learned a lot about Libras this past week. My article about opals revealed how these Venus-driven individuals pursue partnership, balance, and harmony. In my article about peridot, we learned that Libras are captivated by beauty, symmetry, and artistry. Then yesterday, in my article about aquamarine, we discovered that Libras are humanitarians to their core, seeking justice, fairness, and equality. In this final piece about Libras and their four powerful gemstones, it's time to uncover the peacemaking side of the sun sign Libra. These fair-minded individuals work hard to maintain peace. Their affable charm and loving hearts motivate them to advocate for harmony. During an argument, a Libra acts as the mediator, pressing both sides to listen with open hearts, to negotiate, and to seek win-win solutions. (source) Not surprisingly, Libras rarely confront anyone head on. Relying on their grace and charm, they prefer to smooth ruffled feathers, avoid heated discussions, and make connections. As a result, some consider them the Diplomats of the Zodiac. (source) It is for this reason, and more, that Libras can rely on lapis lazuli for tremendous support.

Wearing Lapis Lazuli for Support

The best thing about lapis is that it's a gender neutral stone. Libra men and women will have no trouble finding the perfect lapis lazuli jewelry to wear. Of course, women can wear lapis just about anywhere. As a pendant near the heart or against the throat in a choker. Set in a beautiful pair of earrings, on a bracelet, or in a ring. A Libra man can opt for a masculine finger ring, a pair of cufflinks, or a tie pin. Lapis lazuli makes a beautiful watch face, as well as a masculine choice for a belt buckle or even just the right style of bracelet. No matter how you choose to wear lapis, if you're a Libra you can count on it to support you in finding the balance and serenity you seek. ~Angela Magnotti Andrews
