Lapis lazuli beads are composed primarily of the mineral lazurite, but often have golden pyrite or white calcite inclusions. The lapis lazuli with significant white calcite inclusions is called "blue denim lapis." Lapis lazuli is a name from both Latin, where lapis means stone, and Arabic, where azul means blue. Significant sources include Afghanistan, Russia, and Chile.
