lapis
This term refers specifically to the deep blue stone prized for its intense color and historical association with royalty and the divine. It is most frequently encountered in the compound phrase lapis lazuli, though in archaeological or gemological contexts, it is often used as a shorthand for the material itself.
As a mass noun referring to a mineral substance, it is treated as uncountable. To refer to individual items made from the stone, one must use partitive constructions such as a piece of lapis or a slab of lapis rather than pluralizing the word to describe the material.
