Which to choose

Lapis Lazuli for career-facing communication and confidence. Sodalite for everyday clear thinking and a gentler price point.

How to wear & care

Both bracelets are traditionally worn on the receiving (non-dominant, usually left) wrist so the stone’s energy is drawn inward, though either wrist is fine. To cleanse, rinse under cool running water for about a minute, then recharge in soft moonlight and avoid long spells in direct sun, which can slowly fade the blue. Every MantraMani piece is lab-certified and Vedic-activated before it ships.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear Lapis Lazuli and Sodalite together?

Yes. They share a throat-chakra focus and sit comfortably together — many people pair Lapis for outward confidence with Sodalite for inner calm. If you prefer one clear intention at a time, wear them on alternate days.

Should I choose Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite?

Choose Lapis Lazuli when you want career-facing expression — speaking up, leading, or projecting confidence in the room. Choose Sodalite when you want calm, clear thinking for study, decisions and honest everyday conversation. Lapis is the bolder, more established stone; Sodalite is the gentler, more affordable one.

Which wrist should I wear it on?

Tradition favours the left (non-dominant) wrist to receive the stone’s energy, though the right is fine too. Wear it snug but comfortable, and slip it off before showering or swimming to protect the finish.
