Lapis Lazuli Composition

Lapis lazuli is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. Its composition is a complex mix of several minerals, contributing to its distinctive appearance.

Primary Components:

  1. Lazurite:

    • Chemical Formula: (Na,Ca)₈(AlSiO₄)₆(SO₄,S,Cl)₂
    • Contribution: Provides the deep blue color that characterizes lapis lazuli.

  2. Calcite:

    • Chemical Formula: CaCO₃
    • Contribution: Appears as white streaks or patches within the stone.

  3. Pyrite:

    • Chemical Formula: FeS₂
    • Contribution: Adds sparkling gold flecks throughout the stone.

  4. Sodalite:

    • Chemical Formula: Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂
    • Contribution: Contributes to the blue color and sometimes found in lapis lazuli.

Other Possible Components:

  • Diopside: CaMg(Si₂O₆)
  • Enstatite: Mg₂Si₂O₆
  • Mica: May contribute to the stone's texture and appearance.

The unique combination of these minerals, particularly the dominance of lazurite, gives lapis lazuli its characteristic deep blue color with specks of gold and veins of white, making it a distinctive and highly valued gemstone.

This gift was the perfectttt gift for my boyfriend's upcoming birthday, he's always wanted a fossil from childhood and so this item was the best one for me to buy him personally .I even thought about buying another for myself but I decided to wait and see. I checked the quality of the item and how it looked and it was so adorable, cute and interesting! The description card that comes with it to describe the history and science of this artefact was truly incredible and perfect for his display. Perfect to explain it especially since I can't 😭😭
