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, also known simply as lapis, is a blue metamorphic rock that has been used by people as a gemstone, sculpting material, and ornamental material for thousands of years. Unlike most other gem materials, lapis lazuli is not a mineral. Instead, 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(AlSiO4)6(S,Cl,SO4,OH)2.
