 It is the sub gem for Saturn and Dragon's tail.
 
  It is useful for liver troubles. Majority of 
                            Lapis stones are mined fro Afghanistan. Lapis has a 
                            deep blue color with tiny flecks of gold. It has 
                            often been compared to a clear, dark star-lit sky. 
 For believers, lapis is said to improve psychic 
                            powers, overcome depression, and achieve a balance 
                            in the yin and yang energies. In general, many 
                            consider this stone to be protective of the wearer 
                            from physical and psychological dangers. When it 
                            comes to meditation, it is believed that holding on 
                            to a piece of lapis helps one in the visualization 
                            process by serving as a deep blue focal point of 
                            concentration. Lapis is believed to help a person be 
                            truthful, open, intuitive, and powerful. A wide 
                            range of believers have commented on its ability to 
                            strengthen the physique and spirit thereby aiding in 
                            one's spiritual evolution, and in connecting with 
                            the heavens.
