Lapis lazuli, commonly referred to as "lapis," is a deep blue metamorphic rock prized for its intense color and historical significance. Composed primarily of the mineral lazurite, lapis lazuli often contains specks or veins of pyrite (fool's gold) and may include other minerals like calcite and sodalite. It has been used for centuries in jewelry, sculpture, and decorative objects due to its rich blue hue and distinctive golden flecks.
Fun fact: Lapis lazuli has a long history of cultural significance. In ancient Egypt, it was highly valued for its vivid color and believed to have spiritual and healing properties. The famous pigment "ultramarine," used by Renaissance artists, was derived from finely ground lapis lazuli. Additionally, in some cultures, lapis lazuli was associated with wisdom, truth, and inner vision, making it a symbol of enlightenment and spiritual growth.
