The various meanings of the 3 most popular blue stones – Amethysts, Lapis Lazuli, and Blue Sapphires

When most of us think of blue, we think of vast and soothing images – like the ocean on a sunny day or a clear blue sky. 

The colour blue is often associated with calm, freedom, wisdom, and auspiciousness. In fact, in Hinduism, the gods and saints are always depicted as being blue-skinned to set them apart from those of us who aren’t holy enough. 

In the chaos and stress of modern life, we are all looking for some more wisdom and tranquility. This is where blue gemstones can come in handy. 

In this article, we are going to take a look at the three most popular blue gemstones. We are going to explore their meanings and how they can help you in your day-to-day life. 

Amethysts 

Amethysts are traditionally purple or blue although they can come in a range of other colours. Here we will be talking about the meanings of blue Amethysts. 

Amethysts have long been associated with stillness and peace. They are used to draw negative energy out of the body and replace it with positive energy. They are particularly good at instilling calmness in people who are going through the turmoil and heartbreak of grief. 

Amethysts have often been used to help sufferers of insomnia. Sleeping with an Amethyst next to your bedside table is believed to ward off nightmares and night terrors. 

Some people who suffer from overthinking at night choose to sleep with a cooling Amethyst in their hand. This is believed to calm the brain and a space in which restful sleep can happen. 

People who have real trouble sleeping may want to look into sleeping with an Amethyst in their hands and a Clear Quartz crystal on their bedside table. The Quartz will amplify the power of the Amethyst and will extract and store any of the negative energy that is preventing you from getting a good night’s rest. 

Amethysts – peace, wisdom, rest, tranquility, clarity, and positive energy 

Lapis Lazuli 

Lapis Lazuli was the Persian word for ‘blue stone’ and they were not wrong about that. Lapis Lazuli can come in a range of blue tones from light blue to almost black, all of which are rich in pigment. Some Lapus stones will have flecks or veins of gold colour running through it. 

We have evidence that Lapis Lazuli was used to heal as far back as Ancient Egypt. The Egyptians loved the stone not only for its physical beauty but for its ability to protect the user from negative energy. 

Like Amethysts, Lapis Lazuli has been used for Millennia to protect users from negative energy at night. This negative energy often manifests as restlessness or nightmares. The Ancient Egyptians used to use Lapis Lazuli to cleanse their bedrooms before they went to sleep. 

Lapis Lazuli is also a powerful meditation tool. When you meditate with Lapis in your hand or in front of you, it can help to open your mind to new types of positive energy – including compassion, kindness, and forgiveness. It can also help to align our bodies and minds.

Lapis Lazuli – mindfulness, peace, and change. 

Blue Sapphire 

Sapphires are traditionally blue although they can come in a range of other colours. Here we will be talking about the meanings of Blue Sapphires. 

One of the most significant uses of Blue Sapphires is to stimulate the Throat and the Third Eye chakras. 

When used to unblock and open the Third Eye chakra, you can expect an influx of insight, focus, and creative energy. You can focus on the stone or press it to your Third Eye to experience its powers. 

When used on the Throat chakra, Blue Sapphire can allow you to connect with your beliefs in a deeper way. You will be more prone to speak your truths without fear. It will also help open you up to more creative energy and bolder self-expression. 

When you use the stone on both chakras you can expect to see the world in a different way. 

It is also believed that Blue Sapphire can be used to treat thyroid problems. It has also been suggested that Blue Sapphire can have a calming effect on the nervous system and help it repair itself after it has suffered any damage. 

Blue Sapphire – courage, creative energy, insight, and focus.
