Ultramarine
is a deep blue color and a pigment which was originally made by grinding lapis lazuli into a powder. The name comes from the Latin
ultramarinus
, literally "beyond the sea", because the pigment was imported into Europe from mines in Afghanistan by Italian traders during the 14th and 15th centuries.
Ultramarine was the finest and most expensive blue used by Renaissance painters. It was often used for the robes of the Virgin Mary, and symbolized holiness and humility. It remained an extremely expensive pigment until a synthetic ultramarine was invented in 1826.
The pigment consists primarily of a zeolite based mineral containing small amounts of polysulfides It occurs in nature as a proximate component of lapis lazuli containing a blue cubic mineral called lazurite The pigment color code is P. Blue 29 77007. The major component of lazurite is a complex sulfur-containing sodium-silicate (Na

) which makes ultramarine the most complex of all mineral pigments. Some chloride is often present in the crystal lattice as well. The blue color of the pigment is due to the S- 3 radical anion which contains an unpaired electron.
