Lapis lazuli is an opaque stone consisting mainly
of Dropsied and Laurite. It was shaped millions of years ago in
the course of metamorphosis procedure turning chalk into marble
stone. When unpolished, Lapis lazuli seems
dull and dark blue, often with golden inclusions and whitish
veins from marble. Contrary to previous theories, however, the
small twinkling and unblemished inclusions which lend the stone
the good-looking appeal of a star-spangled sky, are not
gold but Pyrite, i.e., they are caused by iron.

inside of Laurite, and might result in purest ultramarine to soft
blue shades.
