A Little Bit About Lapis
Lapis lazuli, commonly known as lapis, is a deep blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone. It has been highly prized for its intense color for thousands of years. The best lapis lazuli is found in Afghanistan and used in jewelry, carvings, and other ornamental objects. It is also used in painting and as a pigment for artists’ colors, known as ultramarine. Lapis lazuli was among the first gemstones worn as jewelry and used for religious and ceremonial purposes. Its deep blue color is often flecked with gold (pyrite), creating a beautiful and distinctive appearance.
