There's some colour variation, since lapis lazuli's made up of of lazurite, calcite and pyrite.

You can see a bunch of examples here:

It's usually mostly dark blue from azurite with white bits from calcite and brassy bits from pyrite, but there's also some light blue, teal, light green, yellow, brown and gray.
