Lapis Lazuli is a semi-precious material that is slightly less rarer than diamond.
Lapis Lazuli Ore is an Ore Block that can be mined to obtain Lapis Lazuli, which can make Dyes and Decorative Blocks. It can also be used to enchant.
Lapis Lazuli Ore is an ore that, when mined with a Stone Pickaxe or higher, drops 4-8 Lapis Lazuli shards, which is used as a dye. Lapis Lazuli Ore looks like a stone block with odd-shaped blue flecks in it. These flecks are unique to this type of ore; all of the other ores (except Emerald) use a single (recolored) texture. Lapis Lazuli Ore is about as common as Gold Ore. It can spawn between Bedrock and level 31.
