đź”· The Stones They Treasured
Here are just a few crystals that played a powerful role in ancient Egyptian life:
🔷 Lapis Lazuli – The Stone of the Gods
Highly prized and imported from Afghanistan, lapis lazuli symbolized the heavens. It was carved into eye-shaped amulets, statues, and worn by royalty to bring wisdom and protection. Even Cleopatra used ground lapis in her iconic blue eyeshadow.
🟡 Carnelian – The Blood of Isis
This rich orange-red stone was considered sacred to the goddess Isis and often placed on the body in death to ensure safe passage to the afterlife. It represented life force, courage, and transformation.
⚫ Obsidian – Shield of the Soul
Used in burial masks and ceremonial knives, obsidian was believed to protect the soul from evil spirits. Egyptians valued it for its sharp edges, both physically and energetically.
🤍 Clear Quartz – The Master Healer
Used to channel divine energy, clear quartz was often shaped into cylinders or rods used by healers to direct energy into the body. Egyptians believed it helped amplify the power of other stones.

đź‘‘ Crystals in the Afterlife
Egyptians believed in life after death—and crystals were a key to crossing safely into the next world.
Amulets made from carnelian, turquoise, and lapis lazuli were placed within the linen wrappings of mummies. These stones were meant to guide, protect, and empower the soul on its journey.
