Description
Primary Information
Lapis Lazuli was prized in ancient times for its magnificent hue and the costly ultramarine dye that it produced. Its name is derived from the Latin lapis, which means “stone,” and the Persian lazhuward, which means “blue.” It is a rich medium to royal blue rock with gold specks that are made by various minerals, notably Lazurite, Sodalite, Calcite, and Pyrite (pyrites).
Lapis Lazuli was one of the most valuable tributes sent to Egypt, and it was mined at some of the world’s oldest mines, which date back to around 4000 B.C. and are still in use today. Lapis Lazuli, known in the Old Testament as sapphire (unknown in that region of the ancient world), is most likely the fifth stone in the High Priest’s initial breastplate, as well as later versions.
