Lapis lazulis are unremarkable low-value gems found in igneous intrusive stone layers, as well as within marble.

In real life

In addition to being used as a semi-precious stone, the intense blue colour of lapis lazuli led to its being ground up and used as a pigment in painting.

Contrary to the common belief, Lapis Lazuli cannot be used to empower weapons, tools and armor with magic, nor can it be used to dye things.
