What Chakra Is Lapis lazuli? (Explained)
Lapis lazuli is associated to the throat and third eye chakra for two reasons: its abilities as well as its color.
As you might know, each chakra represents a different part of ourselves and every crystal has different abilities to help in those areas. There are 7 chakras, which you’ll find below, from lowest to highest.
- The root chakra (Muladhara): our sense of stability and security.
- The sacral chakra (Svadihsthana): the emotional body, sensuality and creativity.
- The solar plexus (Manipura): self-esteem and your overall personal power.
- The heart chakra (Anahata): love, for ourselves and the world around us.
- The throat chakra (Vishuddha): communication, self-expression and trust.
- The third eye chakra (Ajna): our intuition, perception and overall awareness.
- The crown chakra (Sahasrara): the connection to the divine, transformation and clarity.
Lapis lazuli is one of the most powerful stones when it comes to self-expression, honesty and self-awareness. Consequently, we also call lapis lazuli “The Wisdom Stone”. Because of these abilities, we most commonly associate lapis lazuli with the throat chakra, which can be found in the neck. However, as it is also able to help bring peace and harmony, we can also connect it to the third eye chakra, found between the eyebrows.
Apart from its abilities we can also look at the color. As every chakra has its own color, we can simply match a crystal to the chakra:
- The root chakra is red, but black stones are also a good match.
- The sacral chakra is orange.
- The solar plexus is yellow.
- The heart chakra is green, but also matches with pink stones.
- The throat chakra is blue.
- The third eye chakra is indigo.
- The crown chakra is violet, but also matches with stones that are clear or white.
As you can see, the blue lapis lazuli matches perfectly with the throat chakra. However, depending on the quality and location your lapis lazuli was mined, it might be a little more purple. As a result, it can also connect to the third eye chakra.

Lapis lazuli Benefits To The Throat and Third Eye Chakra
A blocked chakra can manifest in different ways.
A person with a blocked throat chakra might feel like they struggle to stand up for themselves or express their thoughts. You might also find yourself having difficulty making decisions and experience social anxiety.
Physical issues with the throat chakra manifest in the area of this energy center; the neck and mouth. You might experience neck, jaw or throat pains, thyroid issues or problems with the teeth and gums.
If you find your third eye chakra blocked you are likely to experience in the area around the chakra; think of troubles with eyesight, concentration problems or sinus issues.
Emotional and spiritual issues may include forgetfulness, feeling foggy in the head, feeling pessimistic and restlessness.
As lapis lazuli perfectly connects to the throat and third eye chakra, it can help unblock and heal these issues. Please beware that crystals are never a replacement for medical help. Always go to a doctor if you experience serious issues. You can then work with your lapis lazuli to support treatment.
Where To Place Lapis lazuli On The Body?
Where you put your lapis lazuli completely depends on what you use it for. Below you’ll find some guidelines for both jewelry as well as meditation, depending on what you are looking for.
As a general rule, it is best to keep the stone on the skin closest to the associated chakra. If you are meditating with the lapis lazuli and like to lie down, just place it on your throat. If you prefer to wear lapis lazuli, it is best to wear it as a necklace with a shorter chain, or as earrings.
You can also keep it in your hand if you prefer.
Be careful about which hand you hold it in; there are two different opinions on this.
Some say the left hand is your receiving hand, whereas your right is your giving hand. Depending on what you are looking for from your crystal, you can place it on either of those sides. In this case, this left-in and right-out is just the flow of energy through the body which never changes.
Others however, believe that this flow of energy changes depending on if you’re left or right-handed. Your dominant hand (the hand that you write with) is your giving hand and releases energy. Your non-dominant hand is the receiving hand.
You can place lapis lazuli in either hand, depending on what you are looking for. Do you want to receive more confidence (receiving hand) or are you looking to release negative energy (giving hand)?
As you can see, there are some different views. Personally, I would recommend trying out both sides and see how you feel. Crystals are meant to be used intuitively, so use this to determine which side works for you.
