Lazurite

Lazurite was originally described as the blue component of the 'gemstone' (or, more usually, decorative rock) lapis lazuli, which is a “lazurite”-calcite-pyrite rock that has been mined as a gem material for some 9,000 years.
Dana (System of Mineralogy, 1868) considered lapis lazuli to be the dark blue crystals in this rock, but these were renamed Lazurite in 1891.
Lazurite derives from the Persian "Lazhward" for "blue". Also for its dark blue colour resemblance to azurite. Both Lazurite and azurite derive from "Lazhward".
