ABOUT LAPIS LAZULI
A piece of mineral crystal, rock, or organic material that is cut and polished to create jewelry or art. Lapis is a beautiful rock; an aggregate of several minerals, mainly lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. This ancient rock is an aggregate of several minerals. The three major minerals that comprise lapis are lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. The rock can also contain lesser amounts of diopside, amphibole, feldspar, or mica. Lazurite is the ingredient responsible for producing the gem’s most prized color—bright royal blue.
To be a gemstone, a material must have three main traits:
Beauty: It shows striking color, luster, fire, or unique optical effects.
Durability: It resists scratching and breaking during wear.
Rarity: It is uncommon enough to hold value.
Care: Because it is porous and delicate, it should never be submerged in water or cleaned with harsh chemicals. Instead, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth
