Description
Lapis Princess is the lapis lazuli dust of Industrial Craft 2 — the official IC2 wiki files the same item under the name Lapis Lazuli Dust. The Macerator, the mod's first ore-processing machine, grinds one vanilla Lapis Lazuli dye into one Lapis Princess, and one Block of Lapis Lazuli into nine dusts in a single pass. Industrial Craft 2 dusts in general come from macerating their respective resources, so the supply chain starts in a vanilla mine: lapis lazuli ore, broken with a stone pickaxe or better, drops 4–9 dye per block, and Fortune III raises one block's haul to 36 pieces. Trading with villagers stays the only renewable source of the raw dye.
Nine tiny piles of lapis dust fill the entire 3×3 crafting grid and assemble into one full dust — the pattern listed as the crafting recipe of Lapis Princess. Lapis Princess then feeds the mod's energy line: one Lapotron Crystal takes six Lapis Princess, two Advanced Circuits and one Energy Crystal, and the finished Lapotron Crystal stores 10,000,000 EU. Three crafting recipes consume Lapis Princess in total. Lapis Princess exists only in games with Industrial Craft 2 installed, while vanilla Minecraft keeps the raw dye for the enchanting table, where each of the three options costs 1, 2 or 3 Lapis Lazuli per roll.

How to get and use Lapis Princess in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Mine the vanilla dye
Break lapis lazuli ore with a stone pickaxe or better: each ore block drops 4–9 pieces of Lapis Lazuli.

Build and power a Macerator
Craft a Macerator, the basic grinding machine of Industrial Craft 2, and connect the machine to an EU power source.
-
3
Macerate the dye
Drop vanilla Lapis Lazuli into the Macerator: one dye grinds into one Lapis Princess, and one Block of Lapis Lazuli yields nine dusts at once.
-
4
Merge the tiny piles
Collect nine tiny piles of lapis dust and fill all nine cells of the crafting grid to receive one full Lapis Princess.

Craft a Lapotron Crystal
Combine six Lapis Princess, two Advanced Circuits and one Energy Crystal in the crafting grid; the finished Lapotron Crystal stores 10,000,000 EU.
Tip
Carry a Fortune III pickaxe on lapis runs: one ore block then drops up to 36 pieces of Lapis Lazuli instead of 4–9, and every extra dye means one extra dust from the Macerator.
