Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli: The Ancient Stone of Intense Color and History

Discover Lapis Lazuli, a distinguished semi-precious rock prized since antiquity for its striking, deep-blue appearance.

A Natural Masterpiece: Lapis Lazuli is a unique aggregate of several minerals. Its signature hue, a rich, intense blue—variously described as royal, midnight, or ultramarine—is derived primarily from lazurite. This vivid blue canvas is typically illuminated by shimmering, golden flecks of Pyrite, giving it a sought-after ‘starry night’ effect, and sometimes features subtle, white veining from Calcite. The finest quality stones exhibit a dark, even blue with minimal visible calcite.
