About Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a deep blue rock composed primarily of lazurite, often with visible white calcite and metallic golden pyrite inclusions.

Its color can range from medium blue to rich ultramarine. Fine-quality lapis is prized for its saturated color and balanced natural markings, and it has been used in jewelry, carving, pigments, and ceremonial objects for thousands of years.
