This is a lapis lazuli magatama pendant, imbued with a mysterious blue. Revered since ancient times as the "stone of the heavens" and the "stone of the wise," it was beloved by Cleopatra in ancient Egypt and lavishly used in Tutankhamun's sarcophagus, making it a supreme sacred stone. The deep lapis color evokes the night sky and golden stars, and is said to possess powerful properties for warding off evil and enhancing intuition and insight. It is believed to open the third eye, granting the power to see the truth, and sharpening judgment and concentration – a power stone that many have relied on for exams, work, and important decisions. The "magatama" shape, which also appears in the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), symbolizes the regeneration of the soul and protection against evil. It shares the same form as the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan, and has been a guardian stone for the Japanese people since ancient times. This small magatama, gently resting at your neck, is more than just an accessory. It is a blue amulet of destiny, bringing you good fortune and wisdom across more than 3,500 years.
