Lapis Lazuli Gemstone is often called Lapis for short. In fact, the shorthand name “Lapis” is actually used more often to describe this gemstone than the full term “Lapis Lazuli“. Deep Blue Gemstone is rarely without any of the white Calcite present. Embedded Pyrite crystals within most Lapis Lazuli add to the sparkle and naturalness of this gemstone, and when evenly distributed in a small amount makes it more desirable. A deeper blue colour makes this gemstone more valuable, as well as a minimal amount of spotting or streaks of white Calcite.
