Lapis Lazuli is composed primarily of \u003cstrong\u003elazurite\u003c\/strong\u003e (the deep blue color), \u003cstrong\u003ecalcite\u003c\/strong\u003e (white streaks), and \u003cstrong\u003epyrite\u003c\/strong\u003e (gold flecks).

Egyptian pharaohs were buried with Lapis amulets for safe passage; Sumerian queens wore it in formal regalia; medieval European artists ground it into \u003cem\u003eultramarine\u003c\/em\u003e pigment — more expensive than any other color — and reserved it for painting the Virgin Mary's robes.
