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'.
Lapis lazuli can be easily confused with other blue opaque gems such as azurite and sodalite, but azurite has a lower hardness and is typically darker in color than lapis lazuli; while sodalite in most cases, has a lighter color and its granularity is not as fine as that of lapis lazuli.n other parts of the world, words for 'blue' were named after the color of lapis, including the English word 'azure'; Italian 'azzurro'; Polish 'azur'; Spanish 'azur' and Romanian 'azuriu'. Today, lapis lazuli is still considered to be one of the most important opaque blue gemstones available.
