Lapis Lazuli, Lazurite, And Sodalite: Blue Minerals, Rocks, And Gems
Lazurite is the main blue mineral which gives Lapis Lazuli its signature blue hue: it is a tectosilicate mineral and member of the Sodalite group of minerals.
Lazurite is very similar to Sodalite, the mineral which shares its name with the Sodalite group of minerals to which both Lazurite and Sodalite belong.
Sodalite is oft compared to Lapis Lazuli, and in fact Sodalite is sometimes referred to as "Canadian Lapis Lazuli" or "Canadian Blue Stone" on account of the similarities between the blue gemstones.

Gold Pyrite (sometimes referred to as Iron Pyrite or Fool's Gold) is the gold mineral which bestows luxurious, metallic flakes of gold upon the celestial blue base of Lapis Lazuli Stone in glorious swirls and speckles.
Pyrite is an Iron Sulfide Mineral with a gold-coloured metallic lustre, and it is often mistaken for real gold: this phenomenon inspired Pyrite's nickname "Fool's Gold".
