Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore
Deepslate Lapis Ore is the deep-cave variant of lapis — drops the same blue pigment used for enchanting and dyeing.

Description
Deepslate Lapis Ore generates between y=−64 and y=64, with the highest density around y=0 — straddling both the deepslate and stone layers. The visual is dramatic: dark grey deepslate splashed with deep cobalt blue specks that contrast more strongly than any other deepslate ore variant, often catching a player's eye even at the edge of torchlight.
A stone pickaxe is the minimum required tool. Mining yields four to nine lapis lazuli per block, with bonus rolls under Fortune. The pigment has two main uses. First, every enchanting table operation consumes one to three lapis on top of the experience cost. Second, it functions as the primary blue dye, colouring wool, glass, candles, terracotta, concrete powder, and combining with other dyes to make purple, magenta, and cyan. Nine lapis compress into a decorative blue block; Silk Touch returns the ore intact for ore-display rooms.
