Lapis lazuli, often referred to as just
'lapis', has been used as a gemstone for thousands of years. It has been mined
from Afghanistan since the early 7th millennium BC, and it was discovered in
ancient burial sites throughout the Caucasus, the Mehrgarh and even as far as
the Republic of Mauritania. The funeral mask for the ancient Egyptian pharaoh
'King Tut' was even discovered to have been decorated with lapis lazuli.
