The name Lapis Lazuli comes from the Latin word for "stone" (lapis) and the Arabian word for "blue" (azul). True to their name, these semiprecious beads offer naturally blue shades with inclusions that twinkle like stars in the tales of the Arabian Nights. Lapis lazuli was one of the first gemstones ever to be worn as jewelry (a busy lapis trade is thought to have existed as early as 4000 B.C.). Lapis lazuli is believed to be a stone of truth and friendship, and has been a popular birthstone for Libra and September birthdates throughout the centuries. It is reputed to bring harmony to relationships, cleanse the mental body, and release old karmic patterns.

Denim lapis beads provide a more economical, lighter blue variety of lapis lazuli beads. Like other lapis, denim lapis contains grains of several blue minerals, including lazurite and sodalite, plus a matrix that includes speckles of pyrite. The lighter color of denim lapis comes from a higher concentration of calcite inclusions in the gemstone. The light inclusions lower the value these semiprecious beads, but also make denim lapis a great accessory for casual, blue-jean outfits! As with lapis lazuli, denim lapis is believed to be a stone of spirituality, truth, and friendship. Lapis beads are relatively easily scratched and chipped, so make sure to clean them only with a soft, dry cloth.

Onyx is a striped, semiprecious variety of agate, with white, black, brown or red alternating bands. It is different from regular agate only in that the bands of which it is composed are parallel and regular. The name onyx originates from the Greek word onyx for "fingernail" or "hoof," probably because of its weak transparency or possibly its color. Onyx may chip or scratch rather easily, so store it carefully.Nearly all black onyx on the market has been rendered a uniform, permanent black color with a treatment using sugar and acid (and/or heat). This process has been used on the gemstone for thousands of years and is water safe.Onyx is one of the 12 stones mentioned in the Bible as adorning the breastplate of the high priests.Metaphysically, onyx is believed to help eliminate apathy, stress and neurological disorders, eliminate negative thinking, and sharpen the wits of the wearer. It is used to change habits, in addition to helping concentration levels and aiding absentmindedness. Some think it makes the wearer more eloquent, and thus it is worn for public speaking. The main sources of onyx are India and South America, but it is also found in China, Madagascar, Mexico and the U.S.A.
