Dumortierite Rough
Dumortierite is often used in place of lapis lazuli. Hence, its nickname as "poor man's lapis". California Dumortierite is often incorrectly called "Desert Lapis". However, dumortierite is an excellent lapidary stone in its own right. We have two varieties of dumortierite, the well known dark blue/purple material from California and the now rare medium-blue material from South Africa. Dumortierite polishes best with diamond and aluminum oxide. Mohs hardness is approximately 7.
