Lapis Lazuli

[Indo-Aryan]

I am not sure yet but lapis Lazuli was called

"za-gìn-duru" is Sumerian
"vaiḍūrya" in Sanskrit
"veḷuriya" in Pali


Although/Probably derived from Dravidian word which originally meant "white crystals of quartz and beryl".

Unlike Sanskrit word where it meant for blue and green beryl.

@all I would appreciate your opinions.

Modern Persian & Arabic name for it resembles Sanskrit word "Rājāvarta" from the 13th century book.

lājevard - Persian
