Lapis lazuli: Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious stone.

Its main ingredient is lazurite, which is responsible for its blue color.

It also contains calcite and bolostonite, as well as small iron pyrite crystals, thanks to which it exhibits metallic flashes.

Etymologically, lapis will say stone in Latin.

The second word comes from the Persian word Lazuar, which again means stone in Persian.

Eventually lazuli became the root of the words azure, azzurro, azul, which in various European languages, will say blue.

So Lapis Lazuli is the blue stone.

To the ancient Greeks, Romans and the Bible, lapis lazuli is referred to as sapphire.

Theophrastus and Pliny describe sapphire as a stone containing dust or stains of gold.

This description corresponds to the lapis with the golden spots of the iron pyrite.

It brings joy, optimism, longevity, peace, harmony and peace.
