September Stone of the Month: Lapis Lazuli
September is about moving with intention. Not every thought needs to become a conversation, and not every feeling needs an explanation. For From Paradise, September’s Stone of the Month is Lapis Lazuli, a deep blue crystal associated with wisdom, truth, intuition, communication, and spiritual awareness.
This month, we’re keeping the message simple:
💙 KNOW. THEN SPEAK.
Why Lapis Lazuli for September?
Lapis Lazuli feels right for a month centered around discernment.
It’s the kind of stone that reminds you to pause before you react, listen to your intuition before looking for outside opinions, and make sure your words actually need to be said.
September can be a good time to get honest with yourself about what you know, what you believe, and what you’re willing to communicate. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is something you’ve already made peace with inside yourself.
That’s where Lapis Lazuli comes in.
Lapis Lazuli Spiritual Properties
The spiritual properties of Lapis Lazuli are commonly associated with wisdom, truth, intuition, communication, self-expression, and spiritual awareness. Its metaphysical properties are also connected with discernment and becoming more confident in your own understanding.
This makes Lapis Lazuli a meaningful crystal to work with when you’re seeking clarity before making a decision, learning to trust your intuition, working on honest communication, setting healthier boundaries, speaking up for yourself, deepening spiritual reflection, or releasing the need to explain yourself to everyone.
And let’s be real—sometimes knowing when not to speak is just as powerful as knowing what to say.
What Does Lapis Lazuli Symbolize?
Lapis Lazuli symbolism is strongly connected with wisdom, truth, inner knowing, and authentic expression.
Its rich blue color makes it visually striking, but one of the details that makes natural Lapis Lazuli especially interesting is its golden pyrite inclusions. Those little flashes of gold can appear scattered throughout the deep blue stone, giving each piece its own natural character.
No two pieces will look exactly alike.
Whether you’re drawn to Lapis Lazuli jewelry for its appearance or you’re interested in the stone’s metaphysical meaning, those natural variations are part of what makes each piece special.
Lapis Lazuli for Intuition & Communication
Lapis Lazuli is commonly connected with both the Throat Chakra and Third Eye Chakra, making it a popular choice among people looking for crystals for communication, intuition, wisdom, and self-expression.
Because what good is knowing something if you constantly talk yourself out of what you know?
This month’s message isn’t simply “speak your truth.”
It’s:
KNOW. THEN SPEAK.
Know what you mean.
Know what you feel.
Know what you believe.
Know when something needs to be addressed—and when it doesn’t.
Know that you don’t have to convince everybody to understand you.
Your truth doesn’t become less true because somebody else doesn’t agree with it.
How to Work With Lapis Lazuli
When your Lapis Lazuli crystal or jewelry arrives from From Paradise, we encourage you to make the piece your own.
From Paradise does not pre-charge, bless, or activate your crystals before shipping. Your first step can be cleansing your Lapis Lazuli according to the method that feels appropriate for you and your spiritual practice.
From there, set your own intention.
You might hold or wear your Lapis Lazuli while affirming:
“I trust what I know. I speak with wisdom. I do not need to explain myself to everyone.”
Wear your Lapis Lazuli as jewelry. Keep it near your journal. Place it on your altar or spiritual space. Carry it with you when you’re entering a conversation where you want to communicate clearly and intentionally.
The point isn’t to have somebody else give the crystal its meaning.
You decide what you’re working toward.
September’s Message: Know. Then Speak.
There is a difference between having something to say and needing to say it.
There is a difference between explaining yourself and communicating clearly.
There is a difference between intuition and fear.
September’s Lapis Lazuli message is an invitation to slow down long enough to recognize that difference.
You don’t have to respond immediately.
You don’t have to make everybody understand.
You don’t have to announce every decision.
You don’t have to prove what you already know.
Sometimes wisdom looks like speaking.
Sometimes wisdom looks like silence.
And sometimes wisdom is simply trusting yourself enough to know which one is required.
