Lapis Lazuli Gemstones

  • Hardness

    5.5 on the Mohs scale.

  • Occurrence

    Afghanistan, Russia, Chile and the U.S..

  • Appearance

    Dark blue with metallic patches (pyrite) and/or white streaks (calcite). Lapis lazuli can be made of several minerals besides lazurite, namely sodalite, hauyne, calcite and pyrite. Stones that are deep blue with small patches of pyrite and calcite are considered the most valuable. Like turquoise, lapis lazuli is an opaque stone. It was believed by some that lapis lazuli would protect the wearer from evil.

  • Enhancements

    Lapis lazuli is commonly impregnated with colorless wax or oil to improve appearance. Lapis lazuli is also commonly dyed to provide color and/or uniformity.
