About Lapis Stones

Lapis lazuli isa semi-precious metamorphic rock valued for its deep, vivid blue color, which is due to the mineral lazurite. It often contains flecks of golden pyrite and veins of white calcite, giving it a unique pattern. Historically, it has been used for jewelry, religious artifacts, and was famously ground into a valuable blue pigment known as ultramarine.

Characteristics

Color: Deep blue, with the intensity depending on the amount of lazurite. It can also have golden flecks from pyrite or white veins from calcite.
Composition: A complex silicate, composed primarily of lazurite, often mixed with calcite and pyrite.
Hardness: 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for everyday wear but requiring care.

Historical uses

Ancient Civilizations: Used in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Persia for jewelry, amulets, and ceremonial objects, symbolizing wealth and power.
Art: Ground into the expensive ultramarine pigment, used by Renaissance artists for important religious paintings and other works.
Jewelry: A popular material for jewelry like rings, bracelets, and necklaces throughout history.

Modern uses

Jewelry: Still widely used today in jewelry for its rich color.
Decorative and therapeutic purposes: Also used for decorative objects and is believed by some to have therapeutic properties like promoting self-awareness and spiritual growth.
