Lapis lazuli is an alternative or modern secondary birthstone for September.

While sapphire is the traditional birthstone for September, lapis lazuli offers a mesmerising alternative for those drawn to deep celestial beauty and ancient symbolism. With its intense royal blue tones often flecked with golden pyrite, lapis radiates wisdom, truth, and inner peace, making it a meaningful and striking gift for September-born souls. It's also closely connected with the zodiac signs Virgo and Libra, which span the month, adding another layer of personal resonance.

Lapis lazuli is said to nurture self-expression, deepen intuition, and bring mental clarity during times of uncertainty. Known as a stone of truth, it encourages openness and honesty both with oneself and with others. Shown here: lapis acorn & oak leaf necklace & engravable Lapis lazuli birthstone box
