The beautiful blues in paintings from the Renaissance are thanks to the blue of Lapis Lazuli, the blue rock loved by the ancients. It often sparkles with golden pyrite inclusions.
Lapis Lazuli is stilled mined at the deposits of the ancient world in Afghanistan, also in Chile, Siberia, Colorado, and Myanmar.
As Lapis Lazuli is somewhat porus, it is best cleaned with warm soapy water. It should be protected from chemicals, solvents, and abrasives. Lapis has a hardness of 5.5. It has been used in inlay and jewelry since ancient times.
