Lapis Lazuli is a stone with a very rich history. Scholars have long argued that references in the Bible to Sapphires were actually references to lapis lazuli. As well as its use in jewellery as a beautiful and rich blue stone, ground to a fine powder, the stone becomes the basis for artists’ colour Ultramarine. The gold flecks associated with the stone are in fact pyrite (fools’ gold) and there is some controversy as to whether or not these flecks are desirable. Fashion plays its part in dictating this.
Lapis is reputed to have a number of healing properties.
Located in Afghanistan, Canada, Chile, Russia and the USA.
