History:
- Lapiz Lazul: Lapis lazuli, or lapis for short, is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. Ancient Egyptians saw it as a symbol of the night sky. It is associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth.
- Fluorite: Fluorite is multi-colored mineral known for its powerful energetic healing properties and mesmerizing physical beauty. The fluorite stone received its name from the fluorescent luminance that it emits when held under certain angles of UV light, giving it a magical glowing appearance.
- Amethyst: Greek mythology describes the formation of this semi-precious stone as story of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. After Dionysus is angered by a mortal, he swears to kill the next one who comes across his path and an innocent maiden name Amethystos unluckily appears. The maiden turns to the Goddess Artemis for protection, and the Artemis turns her into a white marble stone for self-protection. Dionysus, immediately regrets his action and weeps grape wine over the stone turning it into a beautiful purple gem, which we've come to know as an amethyst.
