Lapis Lazuli would be ground fine, mixed with medium, and used to paint the Virgin’s blue veil. This was an artist who ingested a lot of blue pigment over a long time. I’ve never heard whether it’s toxic. Manganese, cadmium are toxic.

Yes, ultramarine. One of the costliest if not the costliest pigment.
