My first's first is once round
My second's middle is blue
My whole is blue, too
I'm in a pharaoh's gilded mask
Putting me there was no easy task
I ask you, who am I?

You are:
Lapis lazuli
My initials are "Y"
LL in Spanish is pronounced 'Y' (e.g. as in 'me llamo Stiv') - thanks to Stiv in the comments
My initial parts make a ditty sound
"La" is a common refrain in a ditty, as in "tra la la"
My first's first is once round
A "lap" is once around a track - thanks again to Stiv
My second's middle is blue
"Azul" means blue
My whole is blue, too
The lapis lazuli stone is a striking blue color
I'm in a pharaoh's gilded mask
Putting me there was no easy task
It was used as eyebrows in the funeral mask of Tutankhamun (per Wikipedia)
I ask you, who am I?
