Lapis is a beautiful rock; an aggregate of several minerals, mainly lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. This ancient rock is an aggregate of several minerals. The three major minerals that comprise lapis are lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. The rock can also contain lesser amounts of diopside, amphibole, feldspar, or mica.
