Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock of highly variable composition that most often forms in limestone. It is mainly made up of lazurite (25 to 40%), which gives it its deep blue color, between azure and ultramarine. Lapis Lazuli is typically dotted with veins of pyrite which has sometimes been mistaken for gold dust. Other minerals can enter into its composition, primarily calcite and sodalite, but also augite, mica or even hauynite.

A multitude of archaeological sites indicate a very ancient use of Lapis Lazuli. This dates back at least to the Neolithic period (7th millennium BC). It is found in the form of beads, pendants, daggers, ornaments, and amulets. It was obviously the object of a vast commercial network, between Afghanistan, the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Crystallized lapis lazuli is a very powerful stone, but it remains quite rare and therefore relatively expensive. For best results, choose a stone with a strong ultramarine blue color and pyrite chips over a lighter one with white veins.
