You can use it to enchant things if you also have some diamond and obsidian.

Lapis lazuli is used in jewellery, but its value would depend on the quality and color. I’m not sure how much it could be worth. But my guess is that the stone is not worth much. It’s a lot easier to find low quality gemstones than high quality ones.

It looks more like socialite to me but you can get it looked at and assessed at a gem store or if you have a gem fair in your area.

EDIT: Sodalite, not socialite. Fkn autocorrect!

Afghanistan is one of the countries where lapis is found. Your stone looks a lot like the natural lapis lazuli from Afghanistan shown in Wikipedia. I take back my sodalite guess and raise it by two lapis lazulis. :smile:

This stone I found in Brazil. I thought it was pretty cool just to be found on the ground. I like how you can see the layers too.
