Its name comes from the Persian "lāžaward", meaning "blue". This gem has captured the imagination of ancient civilizations due to its rarity and exceptional beauty.

The Egyptians used lapis lazuli as early as 4000 BC to create jewelry, amulets, and even pigments for artwork. Lapis lazuli also played a major role in the jewelry art of the Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations.
