Daendrew Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It is mentioned a dozen times in the books but I've never seen it before. I thought others would be interested too. It's usually used in ornaments and jewelry. https://www.geologyin.com/2019/09/lapis-lazuli-composition-and-color.html?fbclid=IwAR2vFVDncOqlg7cJxfq_v00Yms_rD-aKCWHN4lTYOls21cHIBYHTxEZNy1E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aebram Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 And, Thanks! I, for one, enjoy these little tidbits of real-life history. They're interesting, and they help us appreciate the depth of GRRM's research and knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Sword Donor Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 This is a black rock. It has also been mentioned in ASOIAF. 52 TIMES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Buster Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The gem is a little detail meant to enhance the realism of the story. I would not believe it is anyway connected to the Targaryens just because of the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadscythe95 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yes, so you didn't know that Lapis Lazulis was real? It's quite precious as well. In ancient times it was used for blue pigment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingin Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yes, in the Renaissance it was always used for painting the Madonna’s veil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
