Ra, the Egyptian sun god, was said to have lapis lazuli hair. The ancient Egyptians regarded lapis lazuli as equal to gold in value. It is said that the first eye shadow was made from this crushed crystal, probably because it is considered to aid vision. When crushed and mixed with milk and sediment from the river Nile, it was also believed to cure cataracts.
