What is a lapis lazuli stone?

Lapis lazuli is a fine stone (formerly called "stone half-precious"), a rock composed of different minerals that give it its overseas blue color, its fine white veins (calcite) and its small golden spots (pyrite). Considered the most precious stone by the Persians who saw it as a starry sky, lapis lazuli is extracted mainly in Iran where the most beautiful deposits are still found today. The mines in the Sar-e-Sang region of Afghanistan also produce high quality stones, which Marco Polo already praised. The most productive deposits today are found around the city of Ovalle, Chile, where lapis lazuli has been designated a national stone because of its incomparable beauty. It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. If you want to know more about its history and its virtues of the natural stone of Lapis lazuli, find this information in our Blog.
