Lapis is considered a rock, not a mineral. It combines various minerals, mostly lazurite, but also contains white calcite, blue sodalite, and pyrite which resembles gold. 

Lapis Lazuli was used as a gemstone for millennia by the Egyptians. Powdered Lapis Lazuli was also used as a cosmetic eye shadow, as a pigment, and as a medicine.

Prized for thousands of years, Lapis was a favored stone in ancient Egypt, where it was believed to lead the soul into immortality and open the heart to love. The royal stone was said to contain the soul of the gods.
