- Lapis lazuli,

Lapis lazuli is a deep and opaque metamorphic rock that has been known since antiquity. It is valued for its intense midnight blue color and for its use in jewelry, sacred art, and spiritual symbolism.
Lapis lazuli is recognizable by its deep blue to ultramarine color, sometimes uniform, sometimes shaded.
Blue royal, midnight blue, or ultramarine blue from its polished surface reveals a rich, dense, and visually warm blue.

Lapis lazuli holds an important place in Christian religious art, especially during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
The color 'ultramarine blue' symbolizes the night sky.

In Christianity, this color represented: Heaven, the divine dimension, truth, and wisdom.
It also symbolizes purity, devotion, and maternal protection.

In medieval illuminated manuscripts, lapis-lazuli was used to create the most sacred or delicate blue areas, associated with divine light, transcendence, and spiritual royalty.
