Lapis Lazuli is a complex mixture of the minerals Lazurite, Calcite and Pyrite. The best quality being a deep intense blue with tiny specks of iron pyrites which is a golden brassy colour. It was formed as the result of contact metamorphism when pre existing limestone and marble rocks were changed by the intense heat and pressure of intruding magmas.  The process formed the deep blue Lazurite stone .
