Get to Know Your Stones:

Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious stone, notorious for its gorgeous blue hues. Its vibrant color has attracted the attention of artists for thousands of years. Though most commonly seen in jewelry today, the stone has had many different uses historically. Ancient Egyptians had used the stone to create blue cosmetics, as an early form of eyeshadow. During the Renaissance, painters used the ground stone to make ultramarine––a pigment used to paint the skies and seas.
