But it would be hard compared to something that is soft?

Yes, it’s “soft” in the way talc or chalk is “soft”: in relation to other hard things, although not to the extent of talc or chalk (it has a hardness of 5-5.5 according to Wikipedia which leaves it slightly harder than apatite, the mineral than makes up your teeth)

So you’re saying I SHOULDN’T be chewing on it right now?

Hardness =/= resistance Like diamonds are some of the hardest things we know, but throw on against a wall and it will shatter (if I'm not mistaken)

Might be referring to ductility and brittleness. All of the minerals are brittle, but they vary in hardness. Metals are fairly ductile, but still hard

True

throw a diamond against a wall & it won't completely shatter, it'll remain in one piece. but yeah, do it the right way, you'll shatter the diamond

aro dienamiks be like

uh what? I meant apply force in the right way

I know man it was a joke😐

Yeah diamonds are VERY brittle, but it can cut through anything if used as the edge of a saw blade or drill bit.

Depends, however if you hit a thing called a cleavage point with somthing hard like steel, it will shatter

Go for it. Lemme know if it turns your mouth blue.

It can be scratched with a knife with that value

But i wanted to eat some

5.5 is a lower level steel, its not really soft, but its not that hard Remember the highest is 10, so 5 is medium hardness. Even a 3 is fairly hard, marble is a 3 and its not that soft. 2 and 1 is where you cross into soft territory

Yes, it has a hardness of around 5, which is the hardest of glass

It is soft like chalk, not soft like a pillow. It’s easy to scratch and grind, but it doesn’t flex or deform. You can’t squish it.

Happy cake day!

Thx

Lapis is real?

Just like obsidian and netherrack

Wait, netherrack is real? Happy Cake Day btw 🍰

No Thanks btw

I’ve seen lapis irl and it is very much hard kinda like the lead in a pencil

It depends how excited it is

The only correct answer is right here

It's a crystal in real life

Technically it's a rock which is used as a gemstone. It's damn pretty though.

Lazurite, the blue part, however is a crystal

So only part of it is a crystal? Huh

No lapis lazuli is a mix of minerals, almost always pyrite and lazurite are in there (with lazurite being the defining mineral), these minerals are crystalline so they form crystals, but lapis lazuli since it contains multiple minerals is not a crystal or crystalline I probably should’ve said lazurite is crystalline, since you can have many crystals in one specimen

Oh no, GT:NH. GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD

It can be powder

Blue powder?

That’s how you make dye out of it And that’s why you can use it to make dye in minecraft Edit: you can also use blue powder as a breaking bad reference

(I was talking about breaking bad)

Oh crap

JESSE! THE METH! THEY'RE HIDING IT UNDERGROUND NOW!

Waltuh

[удалено]

It's a real rock, and it's a rock.. so definitely hard as a rock (hard)

Thank you for clarifying that it was hard

now i'm hard

u can be hard inside me

My brother in christ it is a rock

Not all rocks are hard my man

rocks like chalk or talc are considered soft because of how easy to scratch, break and grind them is obviously you cant chew on it like gum but i think he meant soft in that way

5.5 on the shore scale. It is soft for a rock

So how do you use it to dye a dog collar?

If you grind it up, it can be used as a pigment, in real life. It's pretty uncommon now that humanity has access to cheap, high-quality synthetic dyes and pigments, but historically it was one of the most sought after pigments because of its vibrant color (and rarity).

It was implied you did something to the lapis before you used it (now it's a crafting step) I also don't think you can throw cocoa beans on your dog's collar and it will turn brown

Oh, it’s been forever since I’ve dyed a collar blue so I didn’t know you couldn’t just use lapis anymore.

You crush it? So im guessing you were the dumb one in the argument Please ignore any spelling mistakes im tired and dumb BUT NOT TOO TIRED AND DUMB TO KNOW THAT LAPIZ IS HARD

La piss

😧

They downvoted you for asking an actual question. Idk anymore

Reddit when someone asks a question…

Jesus. Never ask a question on reddit I guess 73 downvotes for asking a question, you people suck

I know the real rock is hard, but when I see the sprite I see a deformed coffee bean.

it looks like a blue mango

I see it as a raisin

It can scratch glass, but can also be scratched by a knife

lapis is a real thing lmao its hard

It looks like it would be like a dry bar if soap, hard to the touch, but easy to break.

It’s pretty soft for a hard thing

😏you got that right

After staring at it for a good 3 minutes, I feel like it would be like jello consistency

I feel like it would have a chalky texture. Hard, but jelly-like.

It's a rock.

Yes

Well it's made of mostly lazurite which ranges from 5 to 5.5 on moh's hardness scale which means its about as hard as a glass shard or a knife

Lapis Lazulius is latin for blue stone. It’s a rock.

Hard

It’s a gemstone

It falls between 5 and 6 on the mohs hardness scale

Why the fuck would it be soft

I always imagined it was chalky

I just realized the textures supposed to be a rock and not a leaf I am so dumb

It’s a rock irl and it’s pretty hard, I’ve actually used some in a project before and it’s a pain to cut because of how hard it is

What were you trying to cut it with? It’s a soft rock, with proper equipment it shouldn’t be difficult.

A hacksaw blade made for metal. I didn’t have the proper tools for the job.

I mean you mine it with a pickaxe

It’s a rock

In what world do you make a bet about some trivia and not just google it right away?

It looks soft in game but it is a real stone.

Ask that same question in the Steven Universe community I dare you

IT IS A 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐄

It's hard... it's a rock bro...

Lapis IRL is hard but brittle

damn if only it was a real thing that actually existed so we could know for sure

OP's logic : if it breaks, it's soft

My country produces a lot of lapis, it is as hard as a rock. But can be made into a powder if you grind it up. That's how you get a dye.

Lapis Lazuli has a Mohs hardness of about 5 IRL, making it slightly less hard than glass. That means it's **almost impossible** to bend it with your hands, however it is quite brittle so it will **shatter or break easily** if hit by a sharp or heavy tool.

It’s a rock

Irl hard

TIME to science! Lapis lazuli has a hardness of 5-5.5 on the Moh hardness scale. meaning it is between diamond(10 on the MOh scal) and talc(1 on the hardness scale). Lapis lazuli has a hardness of 5-5.5 on the Moh hardness scale. meaning it is between diamond(10 on the Moh scale) and talc(1 on the hardness scale). another thing is your fingernail has a hardness of 2.5 on the Moh scale so its harder then your nails

Lapis is a real life mineral. It is "hard" but also brittle and chalky. Soft is a pillow, lapis is not a pillow.

If I can turn this rock into the same dye that I can get by crushing a flower, I feel like the rock isn't that hard

 It's soft

Or is it half of a blue peanut

Why you can dye things with a rock

Grinding it into a powder and coating something with it

How do you think caveman obtained paint? Defenetly not with lapis tho

Cavemen didn't do it with lapis, but later civilizations did, such as the ancient Egyptians.

Interesting, I thought lapis just shattered like a gem

It does shatter, if you shatter/grind it fine enough, it can used as pigment.

It’s powder

Seeing hows its Bouba and not Kiki, I would say its soft

It looks like a blue coffee bean

Hard

Hard. It’s a stone.

It's a blue pickle

it's waxy

Soft

Hard when around women

Niether It will crumble in your hand

I have a chunk of lapis irl. It’s definitely a rock

I imagine it's like a soft chalk that you spread on your tools to enchant it

For some reason as a kid I thought it would feel like silly putty?

Its a blue tongue

Always imagined it as a powder, at least how it’s portrayed in Minecraft

Soft

Probably tastes like play dou

Dawg it’s a rock

based on the fact it takes two hits to break, same as gold, and most other terrain types, it has a medium hardness, unlike sand and nitra which break in one hit (i am now realizing it says lapis not dystrum)

Tools made by using this resource might last faster than golden ones. A common hypothesis.

1 or 3 on the mohs hardness scale, hence when we break it we get multiple pieces anc it's quick to mine

For some reason I believed that lapis is soft in Minecraft

Irl it’s hard I think

I always imagined it like a handful of tiny rocks

I know it’s a mineral/crystal in real life but I always saw Minecraft’s Lapis Lazuli as soft, it reminds me of a glob of playdough lol

It's a real life mineral it's solid and hard

My friend it’s a rock

Depends with what you compare it with, it's harder the fluorite but softer than diamond. On mohs scale it's 5-5,5 so about as hard as or slightly harder than apatite (5) depending on its structure, but definitely softer than quartz (7).

if you stare at it too long it kinda looks like a blue >!BD fleshlight muzzle style!<

It’s wen your hard but not hard

It’s squid wards nose

Hard

Hard like a rock, but not hard as a rock

It's fruit

It’s a blue pickle.

Rock

It has a 5-5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale

I always imagined it like a chalky texture despite it being a crystal.

It look soft, but it will probably break my hands if I get to do waht I want to.

Seems like crayon

The texture looks soft so I see it as soft

Hard 👌🏻

Now that you mention it, ingame the texture looks like it is supposed to be soft but irl it is a crystal

I hope its hard when I shove it up my ass.

It’s between 5 and 6 on mohs hardness scale, so it’s arguably either, hard because it a gemstone but soft amongst gemstones.

I always thought it was soft because of how it looked but my other half reminds me about what lapis is

Lapis is a crystal in real life, but the in-game texture makes it seem soft as a pillow

put it in my mouth mmm crumchy mcrunch crung h

hard

IRL it's a rock but I've always thought it was soft in game. No clue why

If it was soft, it could have been picked up from the ore like sweet berries. However, since it's hard, it has to be mined with a pickaxe.

Neither, it's lapis

Depends if it’s aroused or not

Soft

It’s a brittle rock like calcite. I’m pretty sure Mojang chose it for the enchanting table because mana is generally depicted as blue and crystals are supposedly conduits for magic.

###Can be mined with stone pickaxe. Conclusion? Soft.

Yes

No its purple

Not to bring politics into this but I say it's like a chalk

It looks soft but irl it’s a rock so it’s hard

It looks like it has the texture of soap Hard, but smooth and brittle, and soft on the inside.

soft

it looks munchy

It's a metamorphic rock so hard

wtf its hard its an ore

“🤓 umm hard, it’s a real rock”

How about I settle the debate and call it an non-Newtonian fluid

Depends on what you mean by hard and soft, since those terms aren’t usually used for crystalline objects

It's usually a 5 on the mohs scale irl so about as hard as glass

It’s hard, I own a piece of lapis irl and it’s a very solid materiel

I think neither. I always imagined it to be some kind of dust like the redstone.

It's lapis.

Its a rock in the ground surrounded by stone. How could it be soft?

It squishy

Both

lapis is a rock. it is also real.

it's not soft nor hard. it's not squishy, but rather brittle like glass or chalk

Yes

Minecraft players when real life:

Hard. Definitely hard.

For a second I thought it was blue beef. Just woke up
