What does a fine blue stone symbolize?
Blue color symbols
The color blue is a calming abyss. Its serene stability invites us to dream; it inspires Art through its link to memory, remoteness and infinity, but also because it reassures us, clarifies ideas and encourages concentration. It is both sky and sea, the meditative power of contemplation and learning.
Its symbolism is richly linked to the divine in many cultures. In the Middle Ages, blue was seen as a symbol of hope, faith, the loyal and faithful lord.
But reflection can also meet with melancholy or affliction. Don't we say "having the blues"? If colors change according to the light and who looks at them, the addition of meaning, coherent and inexhaustible, makes the symbol. Blue welcomes us, strong and unperturbed. Understanding its share of sadness, azure opens our eyes to the beauty of the world.
Virtues of blue stones in lithotherapy
We have a voice that seeks to express itself, an inner will that seeks the path to liberation. Its expression isn't always easy, but its word needs to be taken into account; it's the key to balance. In lithotherapy, the color blue facilitates communication. Because it's linked to the truth of facts and the calm way of expressing them, it relieves stress and nurtures self-confidence.
So, for example, blue gems combined with grey semi-precious stones will nurture an impression of solidity.
Ideal for relaxation and meditation, a blue semi-precious stone can also be useful for restoring harmony to the throat chakra.
Light blue
Associated with soothing properties in lithotherapy, which enable us to express ourselves with serenity, clarity and confidence, light blue reduces stress and encourages meditation through its purifying, tension-relieving effect. In this way, it helps both to find peace with oneself and to improve interpersonal relationships in the broadest sense. Its main effect is to harmonize energies, including the connection to elements such as water and air: the result is a renewed sensitivity to beauty and subtle vibrations, producing an immediate sense of well-being.
Lazuli blue
Lapis lazuli blue, a deep blue with golden inclusions, is valued in lithotherapy for its properties supporting intuition, wisdom and spiritual clarity. Its virtues are protective and healing. Its high vibrations nurture self-expression while balancing and harmonizing energies and emotions, for deep meditation and thought in peace of mind. Traditionally worn as a protective amulet, the stone provides calm and concentration.
Opal blue
Here's a color with beautiful aesthetic qualities and gentle vibrations, which lends itself equally well to meditation, helping to break down emotional blockages and, through a sensation of calm and mental clarity, fostering constructive communication with others. If the challenge is to release repressed emotions, to better face the challenges of the moment and grasp our aspirations and feelings in all honesty, opal will be of great help.
Ultramarine blue
Ultramarine-colored stones are associated with wisdom, truth and protection in lithotherapy. By calming the mind, they aid mental clarity and concentration for quality communication without pretense.
Turquoise blue
Turquoise-colored stones soothe and protect - they are associated with serenity, harmony of body and mind - because they act on emotional balance by reinforcing self-confidence, purifying negative energies like a protective shield against external influences. They can then produce a strong sense of inner peace.

WaterBlue stone mineralogy
The metamorphism of sediments in ancient aquatic environments, subjected to immense heat and pressure, changes the shape and composition of the rock. Minerals recrystallize. Very often, the presence of iron oxide and manganese can turn them blue.
