Lapis Lazuli an article by the renowned authority David Margulies
Lapis lazuli was described by Pliny the Elder as ‘a fragment of the starry vault of heaven’. It is, and always has been, the most exotic of semi-precious stones and pigments. The best quality blue stone is to be found high in the mountains at Sar-i-Sang, Badakhshan province, north eastern Afghanistan. To our knowledge the oldest use of the lapis lazuli from that source dates back 9,000 years in the form of beads found at Mehrgarh, in present day Pakistan. Lesser quality stone can be found in the same mountain range in today’s Tajikistan. Another source for the stone is in the region of Lake Baikal, Siberia. There are deposits in Chile, Canada, America, Angola and Italy.
