Lapis Lazuli:-

Lapis lazuli is a sodium aluminium silicate with sulphur, chlorine hydroxyl, and variable inclusions of pyrite and white calcite. The name means "blue rock" and is always a brilliant blue with violet or greenish tints.

The rich blue colour is due to the lazurite that is an essential component of this mineral. Small crystals of pyrite are always present in lapis lazuli and their brassy yellow colour is both attractive and diagnostic in distinguishing lapis lazuli from its blue cousin - sodalite, which lacks pyrite. The calcite produces white streaks in the lapis and too much calcite will lower the value of the stone.

Lapis Lazuli has been mined in Afghanistan for thousands of years and was extensively used throughout the ancient world, especially by the Egyptian people. During the Renaissance, Lapis Lazuli was ground into powder and mixed into paint.

Lapis Lazuli is a high vibrational stone composed of the blue crystal Lazurite, white Calcite, and speckles of gold Pyrite. Associated with the Third Eye Chakra when it comes to spiritual enlightenment, it all starts with the self. Egyptian royalty believed in the stones power to stimulate openness to the spirit world and the infinite possibilities of the imagination.

Lapis lazuli encourages taking charge of your life. It reveals inner truth, encourages self awareness and allows self expression without holding back or compromising.

They can contribute to a learning state of mind and sparking a desire for new knowledge. The ability to understand new things and remember what has been learned is also enhanced.

Worry/Thumb Stones:-

Thumb Stones/Worry Stones are smooth, polished gemstones, usually in the shape of an oval with a thumb-sized indentation, used for relaxation or anxiety relief. They are used by holding the stone between the index finger and thumb and gently moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone. This action of moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone can reduce stress. Other names that worry stones may be called are: thumb stones, fidget stones, soothing stones, or sensory stones.

As a folk practise implement, worry stones have many origins. Variations on the concept originate in Ancient Greece, Ireland, Tibet and multiple Native American Tribes. The concept of a worry stone began by the simple action of picking a smooth stone and fiddling with the stone. Native American tribes would continuously give them to younger generations, creating a sense of connection from previous family members.They also believed these worry stones were considered a sacred item and they were extra special if they were made out of quartz.

From the perspective of cognitive behaviour therapy the use of worry stones is one of many folk practises that can function as psychologically healthy self-soothing exercises. Such techniques are imparted at an early stage of treatment, displacing any familiar but destructive coping methods (nail-biting, scratching, lip-biting, etc.) that the patient may have developed. Worry stones are simple and intuitive enough to be useful in therapeutic contexts where complexity and unfamiliarity are paramount concerns, such as when offering short-term treatment to refugees or people with post-traumatic stress conditions.

After a patient has mastered a more sophisticated relaxation script for anxiety management, the worry stone itself can serve as a physical 'relaxation script reminder' - the patient may notice an impulse to use the object, and thereby become aware of their own anxiety. The rubbing of the stone can create a sense of relaxation making the mind more relaxed and generating a sense of calmness. There are also people that may use them during meditation practises, this is known to centre a personepids concentration benefiting the meditation
