Lapis means "stone" in Latin, lazuli means "sky, sky, blue" in Arabic, and lapis lazuli means "the color of the deep blue sky". Pyrite shines like a golden star in the stone, while white calcite enters cracks and cavities inside lapis lazuli to create spots. Lapis lazuli is the first stone recognized as a power stone in the world.
