Lapis Lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock known for its rich royal blue color, often accented with white calcite and subtle golden pyrite inclusions. In its rough form, it appears as irregular chunks with natural surfaces and vibrant color variations.
Composed mainly of lazurite along with calcite and pyrite, it has a hardness of 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale. This material is commonly sourced from Afghanistan and is widely used for carvings, beads, and decorative pieces.
Each piece displays natural variations in color intensity, texture, and inclusions, making every specimen unique.
