lazuli (uncountable - material)

a piece/slab/fragment of lazuli

a lazuli (countable - a specimen/stone)

用法筆記

Countable use ("a lazuli") is rare and usually refers to a specific carved piece or mineral specimen; the material itself is uncountable. Distinguish the shortened form lazuli from the full name lapis lazuli — they are interchangeable in most contexts, though lapis lazuli is more formal and technical.

常見錯誤

She bought a necklace made of lazuli' or 'She bought a lapis lazuli necklace.
lazuli is a noun referring to the gemstone, not an adjective describing a colour.
