In ancient Egypt, Lapis was one of the favourite ornamental stones, including carving scarabs. The stone was also reduced in powder ; we then drank it as an aphrodisiac "potion" during the Roman era. Or mixed with milk in the Middle Ages, Lapis-Lazuli would warn the spirit of fear, doubt and envy.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">As a powder, Lapis-Lazuli was also used as a pigment for tempera painting, to paint the sky ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for a nice example. This practice ceased in the early nineteenth century by the introduction of synthetic pigments, sometimes called French Ultramarine.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://salomeosorio.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/le-lapis-lazuli/" target="_blank">More Details</a></p>', 'slug' => 'lapis-lazuli' ), 'Thumb' => array( 'id' => null, 'ref' => null, 'ref_id' => null, 'file' => null, 'position' => null ), 'Media' => array( (int) 1169 => array( [maximum depth reached] ) ) ), (int) 6 => array( 'Page' => array( 'id' => '22', 'alias' => 'methodology', 'status' => 'online', 'extern_link' => null, 'media_id' => null, 'created' => '2012-09-06 12:31:45', 'modified' => '2013-02-12 08:21:44', 'i18n_title_fra' => null, 'i18n_title_eng' => 'Pearls', 'i18n_content_fra' => null, 'i18n_content_eng' => '<p style="text-align: justify;">Pearls are formed inside the shell of an oyster when a grain of sand (or any other structure) fits into the tissue of the oyster.
