Datejust blue - Lapis Blue vs "non-Lapis"?

Hi,

Newbie here. Looking for a DJ with a blue stick dial. I'm noticing the pics of blue look different on some of the watches. Some dials look like they shimmer, and some look this blue blue (?). What I've found is the blue-blue dials are called "Lapis Blue", but I can't find the name of the specific name of the other blue. What's the blue shimmery dial called? Thanks!

Is that a burst? The black/dark edges make blue dial beautiful!

A Lapis dial is stone so they are very easy to tell by appearance and by the price tag. Doesn't look anything like a burst.
