Lapis Lazuli Hexagon $14 🦋🦋💙💙🦋🦋💙💙🦋🦋💙💙  💙Lapis lazuli, or lapis for short, is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. 💙Color: Blue 💙Luster: Greasy, Vitreous 💙Crystal system: Cubic crystal system 💙Chemical formula: (Na,Ca)₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄ (S,SO)₄ 💙Hardness (Mohs hardness scale): 5 – 5.5 💙Transparency: Opaque 💙Lazurite is the essential ingredient of lapis lazuli and is the mineral that gives it the blue color. The best quality material contains less calcite and pyrite. Lazurite is a sodium, calcium, aluminosilicate mineral that contains sulfur: the color is due to a charge transfer between sulfur atoms. 💙While lapis lazuli is primarily mined in Afghanistan, strains of it have been found in the Americas — as far north as Canada and as far south as Chile and Argentina. In the United States, most deposits are located in California and Colorado.Our Beautiful Stones and Crystals come in different shapes, sizes, and colors
