Lapis (Latin: stone) Lazuli (Arabic: azul, or blue) comes in many brilliant shades of blue from light to deep.

It is a combination of several minerals, among them lazurite, sodium, aluminum and pyrite. Because of this, it is called a rock instead of a mineral and is unique among gems. + Wilton Diptych
