Lapis lazuli appears in many Egyptian archaeological sites that date back to about 3000 BC. It was used in many ornamental objects and jewelry. Powdered lapis was used as a cosmetic and a pigment.

In Biblical times the word "sapphire" was often used as a name for lapis lazuli. For that reason, many scholars believe that at least some of the references to SAPPHIRE in the Bible are actually references to lapis lazuli. Some modern translations of the Bible use the word "lapis" instead of "sapphire."

Lapis lazuli started to be seen in Europe during the Middle Ages. It arrived in the form of jewelelry, cutting rough, and finely ground pigment.

Today lapis lazuli is still used in jewellery and ornamental objects. As a pigment it has been replaced with modern materials except by artists who strive to use historical methods.

Lapis is best used in earrings, pins, and pendants, where abrasion is less likely to occur. Lapis lazuli is frequently treated after it is cut and before it is sold as finished gemstones, sculptures, or ornaments.
