Often translated as Lapis lazuli, but it may be judicious to stay with the term Vaidurya, since the word Lapislazuli - which is commonly applied to a opaque composite rock, does not fit the description (the colour of the sky and transparent, like a diamond or crystal). And the transparent mineral Haüyne, which is the main constituent giving the blue color to the stone, does fit the description, but is basically unknown and doesn't invoke much. The name Lapis Lazuli has been used both for the blue mineral previously known as lazurite (but actually a variety of Haüyne, see also mu men),  as well as the rock that is made up predominantly of this and other minerals. In general, today the name Lapis Lazuli is used to describe the material used as a decorative stone (ie, the rock) rather than the mineral component. Haüyne is a vitreous mineral, with colors from blue, white, grey, yellow and green to pink. Lazurite is resinous, with colors from ultramarine, midnight-blue to bluish-green (mindat.org). The indian name vaidūrya is frequently identified with Cat's Eye (a vernacular name, again applied to several minerals, like Chrysoberyl), sometimes Beryl. Lapislazuli only in a buddhist context (wisdom.org) <br>
