Lapis Lazuli Pigment

Minerals Route’s Lapis lazuli pigment is a top-tier product, prized for its genuine and slightly pricey deep blue powder made from the semi-precious stone. Composed mainly of lazurite, white calcite, and golden pyrite, it’s famous for its vibrant, luminous blue hue, also called ultramarine blue. While it can have natural imperfections like pyrite flecks or calcite streaks, the finest lapis lazuli delivers a pure, intensely rich blue with subtle variations depending on grade and origin. It’s a favorite in many art forms, from watercolor to oil and acrylic paints, adding beauty and brilliance to any piece.
