The Lapis Lazuli is usually royal blue or deep violet color, sometimes with grey veins or glitter effects. Afghanistan is the primary source of Lapis Lazuli, although there are mines in Pakistan, Russia, Chile and North America. It is liked for its shimmering iridescence. One of the most abundant mineral on Earth’s surface, Hematite is the most important and prolific iron ore exploited by humans at the present time. Hematite is also the reason that Mars appears red, as it is its presence in the rocks and soil that give the planet its famous tint.
