In Feng Shui practice, the dragon turtle is a long-standing symbol of \u003cstrong\u003ewealth, longevity, and success\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it a popular carving to keep in a home or office. In the traditional four-guardian system, Genbu watches over the north and is usually shown as a turtle entwined with a serpent, a pairing said to represent balance and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what does lapis add to a carving like this? It is strongly associated with the \u003cstrong\u003ethroat chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e, said to bring calm and release built-up stress, while also supporting the \u003cstrong\u003ethird eye\u003c\/strong\u003e and clearer thinking. Together with the Genbu symbolism, it becomes a piece meant to steady both the space around it and the mind of whoever keeps it close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine lapis lazuli is a metamorphic rock built mainly from the mineral \u003cstrong\u003elazurite\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the world's finest material has come from Afghanistan's \u003cstrong\u003eSar-e-Sang mine\u003c\/strong\u003e for thousands of years. Hand carving a dense stone like this into a detailed figure takes real skill, and small natural variations in colour and veining are part of what makes each carving unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: genuine Lapis Lazuli, hand carved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotif: Genbu dragon turtle (Feng Shui wealth and longevity symbol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 91mm tall, 58mm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 439g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakra: throat, also aligns with the third eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDisplaying your carving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditional Feng Shui placement favours a stable surface near an entryway or workspace, somewhere it can be seen often. Keep it out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth rather than water or cleaning sprays, which can be too harsh for the carved detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
