lazuli
Vivid blue stone
Lazuli appears almost exclusively in the phrase lapis lazuli, a deep blue semiprecious stone prized since antiquity for jewelry and pigment.
The word comes from a Persian term for blue.
On its own, lazuli sometimes describes the intense blue color of the stone: lazuli skies, lazuli waters.
