Mineralogically, lapis was the rarest deep-blue stone available in ancient Egypt — mined only in Afghanistan and imported at extraordinary cost, making it a marker of royalty. Symbolically, lapis is a third-eye stone in multiple traditions (Egyptian, Vedic, Tibetan) — so the material and the symbol reinforce each other.

The Eye of Horus functions as a protection and clarity amulet regardless of your primary religious identity, and does not conflict with Christian crosses, Buddhist malas, Kabbalah hamsa, or secular jewelry. Historically Coptic Christian Egyptians continued wearing Wadjet amulets well into the Common Era. If your tradition has specific guidance, follow that.
