The roles of jewellery, crystals and talismans.
Every type of crystal, jewellery and talismans stood for something in Ancient Egypt. In many of the ancient civilisations including Egypt the colour blue in jewellery or gems stood for royalty. This made Lapis Lazuli one of the most important types of jewellery.
It took hard work to get these precious crystals or jewellery as some had to come in from other countries such as Afghanistan or mined from places like the Red Sea. One of the places that jewels were common was on a sarcophagus. |
