Different Types of Lapis Lazuli Gemstones:

According to GIA, the Lapis Lazuli gemstone is a crystalline marble formed during contact metamorphism.

Let’s see the various types of Lapis Lazuli according to their color, composition, origin, etc.

1. Persian or Afghan Lapis Lazuli: This type has an intense blue gemstone with a uniform, medium dark, and slightly violetish blue hue due to tetrasulfur (S•−4) radicals in Lazurite. It contains little or no pyrite and no calcite.

2. Russian or Siberian Lapis Lazuli: It has an intense blue color due to the tri-sulfur radical anion (S•−3). It also has traces of pyrite and some calcite.

3. Chilean Lapis Lazuli: This deep blue variety of Lapis Lazuli gemstone is tinged or spotted with green hues due to disulfur anions (S•−2) and calcite matrix. It originates from the Andes mountain ranges at the border of Chile and Argentina.

4. Greenish Blue Lapis Lazuli: This greenish variety of Lapis Lazuli has an excess amount of Pyrite with low white streaks due to fewer calcite streaks and is less valuable.
