Lapis has been found in many of the treasures uncovered in the tombs of Egypt. Lapis was also used in artist's paint as a pigment by grinding the stone into a powder. The main mineral in Lapis lazuli is Lazurite. Lazurite is a silicate mineral with calsite, sulfur and chloride. Its formula is (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(SO4,S,Cl)2.
