Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli
Is there a difference between Lapis and Lapis Lazuli?
Lapis lazuli is actually a rock, rather than a gem. It consists of lazurite, with carious quantities of calcite, pyrite, and other feldspathoids of the sodalite group, such as hauyne and nosean.
The word "azure" comes from the same root as lazuli. Lapis translates as stone, and lapis lazuli thus translates as "blue stone", although it now means something more specific.
There's no difference between Lapis and Lapis Lazuli; the former is simply a short form, such as calling Norman "Norm". You could refer to a "Lapis Ferrari" meaning the car is the color of the stone, just as you refer to an "Ivory Ferrari" meaning a car of another color, but in any case, it means the same thing, whether it's short form or long.
