Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a primary dye color obtained by mining lapis lazuli ore with a stone pickaxe or better. Similar to coal, Redstone and diamond, Lapis Lazuli can be used immediately.



Uses

 * Can be combined with Wool to make Blue Wool
 * Can be applied to sheep, which will yield 2–4 blocks of Blue Wool when shorn.
 * A lapis lazuli block can be formed by filling a crafting grid with 9 dye pieces.

Rarity and Location
Lapis lazuli has a similar rarity to diamond, but is found in less predictable ranges of layers, thus making it harder to find in predictable patterns. This fosters a belief among some players that lapis lazuli is rarer than diamond.

Trivia

 * In real life, Lapis Lazuli is a medium hard stone used for making jewelry and as a pigment.
 * Lapis Lazuli Dye was going to be an ingredient for the block Crying Obsidian, but the block was never added, as well as the recipe.
