bai dU rya

Although this has often been translated as lapis lazuli, the descriptions and references in the literature, both Sanskrit and Tibetan, match beryl. The Pāli form is veḷuriya. The Prākrit form verulia is the source for the English beryl . This normally refers to the blue or aquamarine beryl, but there are also white, yellow, and green beryls, though green beryl is called "emerald."

Precious/semiprecious stone; sometimes translated as lapis lazuli.
