Trivia
Before 1.6.6, it was easier to craft a Lapis Lazuli block than any other ore block, because a Lapis Lazuli ore block drops 4-8 Lapis Lazuli dye. Now, it is Glowstone, which now drops more and is crafted by less dust.
In real life, Lapis Lazuli is a blue gem that may be ground and processed into ultramarine pigment. Lapis Lazuli pigment has been famously used in the production of illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, and cave paintings. (See Wikipedia page).
