Evidence
"The blue inks in all the other sheets give the spectra shown in Fig. 6(b–c) with similar bands... characteristic of lazurite pigment"
Remarks
Found on MEK-MS-4 and MEK-MS-5. Because it was prestigious and expensive, it appeared primarily in relatively recent artworks; pilgrimage periods were the main occasions for the exchange and importation of such raw materials (p. 118).
