Archipelago
Japan is an archipelago of 6852 islands.The four largest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku.
Lapis Lazuli
Originating from Afghanistan, lapis lazuli has been used as an ornamental material in jewels, inlay work and as azure paint for over 6000 years. With a typically resinous and mottled appearance, the metamorphic rock is acclaimed for its intensely vivid and opaque ultramarine blue colour. Unusually for a gemstone it is a rock, not a mineral.
