Lapis
Description: Lapis, also known as lapis lazuli, is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. It often contains white calcite and golden pyrite inclusions, giving it a unique appearance. Historically, lapis was ground into a powder to create the ultramarine pigment used in painting and artwork.
Fun Fact: Lapis lazuli was so highly valued in ancient times that it was often worth more than gold! The ancient Egyptians used it to create vibrant blue eyeshadow, which adorned the faces of pharaohs and queens. Some of the finest examples of Renaissance art, like the paintings of Michelangelo, owe their brilliant blue hues to the ultramarine pigment derived from lapis lazuli.
