Lazurite is a popular but generally expensive mineral. Well-formed, deep blue crystals are rare and valuable. The name means "blue rock" and is always a brilliant blue due to the sulfur that is inherent in the structure of lazurite. The greater the sulfur anions, the more intense is the dark blue color of lazurite. Lazurite, an amply soft and brittle mineral, is easily processed as a pigment. It is a popular but expensive mineral commonly found combined with other minerals in a rock called lapis lazuli.
