In Christianity, lapis lazuli, with its intense blue color, is associated with Heaven and the divine. It has been used in religious iconography to represent purity, truth, and wisdom. It is also attributed protective properties and is linked to the figure of the Virgin Mary and the power of God.

Lapis lazuli, for its deep blue color, has been associated with the sky and the celestial, which connects it with divinity and the presence of God in Christian tradition.
