The ancient Sumerians believed that the spirit of their gods lived within the deep, celestial blue of the Lapis Lazuli stone. Since the earliest of times, this stone has been associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth.

This beautiful hand-knotted mala necklace has a special feature. The pendant is a stone bottle, with a secure screw top, in which you can carry perfume, essential oils, or a loved one's ashes. Personally, that would be precious to me.
