September Birthstone: Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli: A Stone of Wisdom and Self-Expression

When most people think of September’s birthstone, Sapphire usually comes to mind. But in ancient and alternative traditions, lapis lazuli was also honored as a birthstone for this month. Known as a gem of truth, bold expression, and inner knowing, lapis is a perfect fit for September,  a season of reflection, transition, and clarity.

Symbolism & Meaning

 - Truth & Expression: Lapis is tied to the throat chakra, encouraging honest communication and the courage to speak your mind.
 - Wisdom & Insight: Revered by ancient Egyptians, it was believed to hold the power of the gods and open doors to spiritual knowledge.
 - Protection & Strength: Lapis has long been used as a talisman of protection, helping its wearer stay grounded and resilient.

A Stone of Royalty

With its deep celestial blue flecked with golden pyrite, lapis has been treasured for thousands of years. Pharaohs, queens, and artists alike used lapis as a symbol of royalty, creativity, and higher vision.

A Personal Note from Bloom and Glow

As the owner and founder of Bloom and Glow, I hold a special affection for lapis lazuli. I love its rich color, I love what it represents, and I love my own lapis pieces that help me speak my truth and use my voice in powerful ways. That’s why I chose lapis pendants as a free gift with purchase, because this stone represents exactly what Bloom and Glow is about: women stepping into their own power and celebrating themselves outside the expectations of tradition.

This September, let lapis remind you: you are wise, your voice matters, and you are worthy of celebrating every step of your journey.
