Lapis lazuli is a deep-blue metamorphic rock composed primarily of lazurite, with calcite and pyrite inclusions. Its name comes from the Persian word 'lāžward' meaning blue.

In Feng Shui, lapis lazuli is associated with the Water element and is placed in the North, the Career & Life Path area of the Bagua. It is believed to enhance wisdom, promote clarity of thought, and strengthen one's connection to truth.
