The new lapis lazuli is ridiculously rare, and has only two uses, one of them only a tiny bit useful. Here are a few ideas that might make lapis lazuli more useful.
Wait, what? I've found a lot of lapis lazuli. If you're mining around the level where gold is found, it's actually quite common. Also, two uses? I know it's used to dye wool, but what is the second? o-o

Lapis bocks look similar to water springs from really high up if you ask me.
That said, in smp, they could be used for rather devious fake safe places to jump into.

While I do agree that Minecraft goes out on a limb in the reality department, it does stick to reality as to ores.. Mostly.. Gold is rare and almost useless, diamond is rarer and very durable in tools (although.. Yeah, diamond tools are unrealistic.) It's a close call, but I'm going with keeping it rare for the sake of realism.
They do have their dimensions right. But because Lapis is so spread out, it turns out to be twice as rare as diamond. Not even close to reality. It would really squeeze in between gold and iron.
I think Lapis Lazuli should never become a kind of solid. Nor wire.
I think it should be some kind of liquid gel. I've already explained that it could be some sort of polish that makes glass reflective (basically mirrors) and any other block would be made shiny.
But I also think it could be used as some sort of glue. Maybe it could keep sand and gravel from caving in? Or maybe it could trap mobs to sticking to it?
Maybe you could even turn it into a drink, and upon drinking it, it would do something strange to your body with radiation? Maybe it could temporarily let you be giant? Of course that would have to be drank outside. On the other hand, it could possibly make you a walking body of Lapis Lazuli liquid that can envelope any mob? You would be just like a slime! Or maybe it could even be some kind of drug where it does something to your vision? Maybe every block turns into a sphere? Or maybe colors, EVERYWHERE? It could possibly even make you hallucinate and see a bunch of one type of mob for a couple of minutes?
well in real life lapis lazuli is a mystical rock that is supposed to have healing powers. That is why i think it should be used to make some kind of healing potion or something health related. maybe a healing station? or a movable spawn point or even like a 1up extra life thing
blue = lapis
No.
Lapis WILL most likely get more cool uses, but isn't dyeing wool good enough for 2 weeks?
Come on.
Dyeing wool is kind of useless and personally I wouldn't go through such hard work to get blue dye.
As for new wires. Maybe Lapis Lazuli wires could go up walls and such? Redstone wires can't do that, and it'd make them be more worthwhile looking for.
well, yeah, I think dyeing wool is pretty useful....but good idea...also yeah the magnet would be great
Implementing Magnets would lead to magnet boots...which I approve of. Climbing a path of iron blocks and pistons (without being launched) would be sweet.

If you stack a Desert Temple on the top of a Jungle Temple which is on the top of two churches you get a megazord
Is it really that rare? I'd say right now it is slightly more common than diamond. (coming from a lucky guy who got over 20 in 2 hours + 15 diamonds) I mean.. i king of like the rarity. It goes in with pumpkins, diamonds, and gold as a showoffy sign of royal mining awesomeness to show off in smp.
I find Diamonds more than Lapis regardless whether it is a strip mine or a cave...Derp
I think Lapis is rare because one ore is enough to drop many, and it barely has a use so why bother having many?
It could have magical properties and be used for swimming related armor. e.g. more air for when you're underwater, faster swim speed, something that makes it so you can see better while underwater, etc.
Wow...Lapis Pickaxe... wait a minute..Lapis is Dust right?(Correct me if false)
Also..in my server,We use the Economy Plugin and Lapis price is very expensive..
and i luv blue sheep,,

TOO MANY PIGS! MUST KILL ALL!!!!
blue = lapis
could be a healing potion
red = redstone
a healing station that u can stand on
a moveable spawn point
i also feel rarity should be left the same
Only if you believe in myths.
Then again, this is a video game, so it's not all that far-fetched.
Certainly less far-fetched than getting 16 ingots from one block of lapis lazuli like the op says.

Lapis already has magical properties.
