Deep blue in color and opaque, this gemstone was highly prized by the pharaohs of ancient egypt, as can be seen by its prominent use in many of the treasures recovered from pharaonic tombs. It is still extremely popular today.Lapis is a rock and not a mineral because it is made up from various other minerals. To be a true mineral it would have one constituent only.The first part of the name is the latin lapis, meaning stone. The second part, lazuli, is the genitive form of the medieval latin lazulum, which came from arabic (al-)lazward, which came from persian zhward. This was originally a place-name, but soon came to mean blue because of its association with the stone. English azure, spanish azul, italian azzurro also derives from this source. Taken as a whole, lapis lazuli means stone of azure.
