Lapis lazuli, a captivating deep-blue gemstone, has been prized for its rich color and historical significance for millennia. This rock, composed primarily of lazurite, often features golden flecks of pyrite and white calcite inclusions, adding to its unique character. With a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, it's relatively soft, requiring gentle care. Lapis lazuli's intense blue hue, ranging from royal to dark blue, has made it a favored material for jewelry, carvings, and ornamental objects throughout history, and it continues to be valued for its striking beauty and perceived mystical properties.
