Geology & Origin
Lapis Lazuli is a rock whose intense blue color is mainly caused by the mineral Lazurite. Typical associated minerals include Calcite and Pyrite, which produce the characteristic light areas and golden inclusions. Afghanistan is one of the classic and most important sources of Lapis Lazuli and has been known for intensely blue material for thousands of years.
