This chime's enchanting sound results from a unique tuning using the "golden ratio." This ratio, discovered by the ancient Greeks, can be found throughout nature. Lapis, also called lapis lazuli, is a beautiful blue-colored stone often found with veins of white marble. The ancient Egyptians used lapis to represent heaven. They made amulets and ornaments, and even ground them for eye shadow. This shade of blue is the color of inspiration, sincerity, and spirituality. We blended blue stone beads with a faux lapis windcatcher to create our beautiful Blue Lapis Chime.
