Lapis Lazuli
Now that color is so important in both the fashion and the jewelry world and because blue has always been a favorite color for so many, a very old gemstone is making resurgence. With a documented history that stretches back more than 6,000 years, lapis continues to work its magic today, enticing designers with its fascinating shade of blue twinkling with tiny inclusions of pyrite or fools gold - like a night sky. The stone is soft (5-6 on Mohs hardness scale) and opaque (cut into cabochon and flat stones, or beads for jewelry). The gemstones price depends on the stones beauty and color intensity with the most valuable color being a deep intense blue with finely distributed crystal resembling glitter from the golden pyrite. Irregular veining, pronounced patches or spotty patterning of either the pyrite or white calcite diminishes the value of lapis.
