Take a look around you. Perhaps you come across a chair. This is a real chair that exists in both time and space. Yet, before it became a reality, it was only a thought.

Others say it can be dated back to the inaugural gathering of a female organization known as a “Woman’s Club.” Another school of humorists attributes the origin to the contents of the Holy Bible, whose chapters are rife with scathing and harsh criticism.

Since the beginning of human history, lapis lazuli has been one of the most sought-after gemstones. Its rich, heavenly blue continues to be a representation of majesty and honor, deities and strength, spirit, and vision. It represents wisdom and truth. Lapis lazuli was highly prized in ancient times for its exquisite hue and the priceless ultramarine dye it yielded.
