Photo: Lazulite. Lazulite is a magnesium iron aluminium phosphate hydroxide mineral, found in metamorphic rocks and border zones of complex granitic pegmatites and alluvial deposits. Lazulite is a member of the Lazulite Scorzalite series and is relatively rare in the massive form. Lazulite crystals are usually dull, so fine azure blue vitreous specimens are highly collectable. Lazulite is an Arabic word meaning 'heaven'.
In addition to lazurite, specimens of lapis lazuli usually contain calcite and pyrite. Sodalite, hauyne, wollastonite, afghanite, mica, dolomite, diopside, and a diversity of other minerals might also be present. To be called lapis lazuli, a rock must have a distinctly blue color and contain at least 25% lazurite.nstead, it is a rock composed of multiple minerals. The blue color of lapis lazuli is mainly derived from the presence of lazurite, a blue silicate mineral of the sodalite group with a chemical composition of (Na,Ca) 8 (AlSiO 4) 6 (S,Cl,SO 4 ,OH) 2.
