[laughs] They give you enhanced intuition 'cause they're gonna clear your mental fog and sharpen your spiritual insight, so it makes it easier for you to receive inner guidance and those messages.
Lainie WooHOST
Um, the darker blue hue stones also provide great protection for us, like lapis lazuli is believed to shield against negative energy or psychic attacks.
Lainie WooHOST
And this Awakening Airwaves clan, they swear by lapis lazuli.
Lainie WooHOST
I swear, every person I talk to [laughs] every fellow host, has and wears lapis lazuli.
Lainie WooHOST
Um, ancestral connection as well, um, some blue stones are, um, uh, known for that, and an example of that would be the Preseli bluestone, which is the stones that the Stonehenge are made from.
Lainie WooHOST
Um, they link the modern seekers to past life wisdom and ancient roots.

Remember I said that there's a bigger one and a smaller one? So on the right-hand side, it's the mini one.
Lainie WooHOST
Um, and the mini symbol is a representative of others in the world around us, okay? Um, it's a mini rainbow fluorite slab.

At the next gate, another ornament will be taken from her body, and with it another layer of the identity she carried so confidently into the dark.
speaker_8NARRATOR
Number three: the third gate, where Inanna gives up her lapis lazuli necklace.
speaker_8NARRATOR
She has crossed two gates already.
speaker_8NARRATOR
The crown is gone.
speaker_8NARRATOR
She protests.
speaker_8NARRATOR
She speaks the language of someone accustomed to being heard.
speaker_8NARRATOR
Then at each gate, the response is, "Quiet." And at the third gate, the command is followed by the removal of the lapis lazuli necklace from the place where her voice emerges.
speaker_8NARRATOR
Maybe that is only a physical detail.

JosephHOST
Heck yeah.
dakazuHOST
But even then, they said the gem was too pure.
dakazuHOST
It was only after they took Phos's head, original head, and it was replaced with Lapis Lazuli's.
dakazuHOST
They mentioned how...
dakazuHOST
Intelligence can be a strong poison.
speaker_0HOST
There is very little evidence of how it really began, but we're not going to dwell here too long, although Afghanistan does play an important role for artists and the early pigments, as I just explained.
speaker_0HOST
They produce very important pigments to Renaissance artists like Lazuli, which is more expensive than gold in weight.
speaker_0HOST
But I want to just jump forward another 700 years from these early paintings.
speaker_0HOST
So for thousands of years since the disintegration of the Roman Empire in Western Europe due to various different forces at play, the church took over, slowly running the state and the European state.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Gold did not rot like cloth.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Lapis came from distant lands.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Fine metalwork required skilled labour, controlled resources and powerful networks of exchange.
speaker_3NARRATOR
To wear such objects was to display access to the world beyond the ordinary household.

speaker_3NARRATOR
The Royal Cemetery at Ur, dating to the 3rd millennium BCE, produced extraordinary examples.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Headdresses of gold leaves and beads, necklaces, pins, weapons decorated with precious metals and objects made from materials transported across vast distances.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Lapis Lazuli likely came from far to the east, probably Afghanistan.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Carnelian moved through long-distance trade networks.
Fred ToucherHOST
they're too busy driving, not being able to see, bumping into things and running into country clubs.

What are my...
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
but they also resulted in a mass exchange of artwork and materials between the Middle East and Europe.
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
One striking example can be found in Lapis Lazuli, a deep blue rock mined for centuries in what's now Afghanistan.
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
When this brilliantly colored stone made its way to Western Europe for the first time during the Crusades, it blew people's minds.
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
Get it? Blue? The stone itself was a hot commodity, making its way into gaming boards, vases, and tiny medallions of people's faces.
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
But there was more to the lapis lazuli craze.
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
When crushed into a powder, the stone created the bluest of blue pigments called ultramarine, which was literally worth its weight in gold.
Sarah Urist-GreenHOST
Just look at the way ultramarine steals the show on the ceiling of the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy.
