Genuine Lapis Lazuli is valued not only for its range of blue colors but also for the imperfections and inclusions of other colors in the stone.
Fake Lapis will also try and pass off an opaque blue stone without any imperfections. Real Lapis Lazuli has tiny specks of gold and white in even the deepest blue stones and may have entire veins or areas of those colors depending on the color and quality.
Always look for a little gold and maybe a little white in genuine Lapis.
