Adds Pyrite and Calcite to the Lapis Lazuli textures. Inspired by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History exhibit, "Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals".

I made this pack because, in the virtual museum tour, I saw a mineral that looked JUST like Minecraft's lapis lazuli, but it went by the name of lazurite. Curious, I did some research, and learned that actual lapis lazuli is a rock with multiple minerals, (usually they are pyrite and calcite. Occasionally, there are some with cyan colors, and I'm not entirely sure what it's caused by but it's probably another mineral.) However, Minecraft's lapis lazuli doesn't have more than one mineral... So really, Minecraft lapis lazuli is just lazurite! Who knew!
