Yes, I got that quite early on !

But where is the word LAPIDARY defined within the clue ?

Thanks at 19:04....sorry but everybody's avatar is appearing but no name underneath, so I can't thanks you by name !

Another meaning of lapidary is a style of concise writing or speech, deriving from the short inscriptions needed on monuments, which are made of stone.
