| He listed amazonite, aquamarine, topaz, gypsum, lazurite, quartz, and turquoise. |
|
| Here it was found sparsely as rounded grains associated with pargasite, diopside, oligoclase and lazurite. |
|
| Two German-held bibles both contain lazurite, an expensive mineral that is notably absent from the King George III copy. |
|
| Associated minerals include various pyroxenes and zeolites in addition to the more familiar lazurite, sodalite, pyrite, and carbonates. |
|
| Mostly composed of lazurite, this stone is sacred, from ancient civilizations, seen as providing access to the heavenly kingdom. |
|
| The composition of the minerals, other than lazurite, influences the color as well. |
|
| It bears similarities to lapis lazuli, though they are chemically quite different, since the blue color of lapis derives from lazurite, a sodium silico-aluminate in a sulfur matrix. |
|
| The pigments included cinnabar, chromium green and lazurite — a blue-green copper compound — as well as tin-lead yellow, which artists stopped using after the 19th century because of toxicity. |
|
| This comes from Lapis Lazuli which is a complex rock mixture containing the mineral lazurite. Blue, pink and violet are typical colours derived from Ultramarine. |
|
| Here is one of the biggest open mines of the world. The city has been named after the hill Erdenet, which means treasure for it is a real Klondike rich in copper, turquoise, lazurite, malachite and in other minerals. |
|
| These are beryl, chrysoberyl, corundum, diamond, feldspar, garnet, jade, lazurite, olivine, opal, quartz, spinel, topaz, tourmaline, turquoise, and zircon. |
|
| The two German copies bore the expensive blue pigment lazurite, suggesting that the Bibles were intended for particularly wealthy owners. |
|
| Lazurite, the deep blue variety of sodalite with sulphur replacing some of the chlorine, is dominant in lapis-lazuli. |
