lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli is one of the birthstones for December. Lapis lazuli is made of multiple minerals, including lazurite. Those that contain a well-balanced amount of gold pyrite are popular because they give the impression of a star-studded night sky. It has been widely used as a pigment since ancient times, and is also known for being used in Tutankhamun's mask and famous paintings.
