• Research “Edgar Cayce" - “The Visionary Stone”
• No crystal embodies the pure Blue Ray quite like Azurite. The rich vibrancy of its dark-blue energy resonates to the frequency of the Third-Eye Chakra, and has been guiding souls to enlightenment for eons. 
• “We find that the crystal and gemstone has a very helpful influence if carried or worn about the body ; not as an omen, not merely as a 'good luck piece' or good-luck charm' , but rather the source of those lights or (atomic) vibrations that are needed as helpful influences for the entity and are well to be kept close to the body. This is not folklore, rather a forgotten science". -   (Edgar Cayce Reading 2285-1) - link to his personal Azurite story

Azurite stimulates all the mind centers, nourishing a keen interest in life, one’s function in society, and discovering new commonalities and links within our world.

Azurite tempers the mind; it releases stress and confusion, and alleviates worry, indecision, and thoughts that linger in the back of the consciousness. To restore balance and control over emotions and reactions, simply hold the crystal and ask to have the troublesome thoughts evaporate. It is a rubbing stone that prefers to be touched to release its energies, so when wearing or carrying Azurite, remember to rub it often. 

Always remove when entering water, when you are sleeping or when doing high physical activities. Azurite should not be worn 24/7 as it is a Powerful energetic Crystal that requires rest in between uses.

The human body is comprised of multiple intricate layers, including the physical, astral, and spiritual bodies. Within the astral body lies a sophisticated network of energy centers known as chakras.

Azurite crystals stimulate and open the Third Eye - Brow Chakra (Ajna), which means "perceiving", "command" and "beyond wisdom”.  It is our (6th Chakra) and is located in the astral body corresponding to the spinal cord, at the center of the brain. Its exact location is four inches behind the center of the eyebrows, known as the pineal gland. The Third-Eye Chakra symbol is a lotus flower with two petals. The two petals represent the dualities of your ego, such as your likes and dislikes, and the lotus flower represents your inner consciousness and its ability to surpass beyond these dualities.

The Third Eye - Brow Chakra or Ajna Chakra addresses imbalances and blockages. As the sixth Chakra, it governs our perception and awareness of our surroundings, and is the seat of our soul.  Our consciousness is located here. "We" are here and we relate to ourselves through this chakra.  By encouraging our inner voice, it aids in self-discovery, improving our intuition and psychic powers, and facilitating communication and connection with the spiritual realm. The Third Eye Chakra is a Gateway to higher consciousness.

Azurite is highly conducive for meditation and relaxation, allowing one to easily enter the void of the “no-mind” state. It lets one travel deep within the inner being, and to maintain the depth for spiritual guidance or to explore past or alternate lives in order to recover information and knowledge from those lifetimes. 

Azurite-Malachite in its natural state is an excellent meditative aid to connect with Mother Earth. Simply hold a crystal in each hand and sit quietly on the ground for a few minutes to provide an awareness and appreciation of the earth as a living organism upon which we all are totally dependent.

Azurite is said to posses very strong energy properties when exposed to sunlight and is known as a "singing stone" according to reports from the Natural History Museum of N.Y..  “A massive block of vibrant blue azurite and green malachite that was first exhibited at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago is back on display in the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York.”

Azurite is a soft stone, named for its deep “azure blue” color. It’s deeply saturated colors ranges from bright to deep blue into shades of indigo, and may contain streaks of light blue. 

Azurite is often found in nature mixed with Malachite, another copper carbonate mineral, this one with a bright green color. Together, in polished form, they resemble Mother Earth and carry not only their individual properties, but a powerful blend of healing energies

Azurite-Malachite is an exceptional conductor of energy, bringing a grounded, more integrated process in healing physical dis-ease. The blue ray penetrates and moves energy, calming stress levels within the system while the green ray facilitates a deep healing force. It may also be used to activate the Third Eye in cleansing the subconscious of emotionally charged thoughts or negative feelings, and restoring a higher and clearer mental state. It assists in dissolving egocentric traits, dispelling conceit, arrogance and vanity, and instills a willingness toward flexibility and individuality based on a universal connection to “All.” Azurite-Malachite’s combination of energies is highly conducive to meditation by allowing one to go deep within the self, without fear, in order to be sustained, absolved, and reborn into the light, completely aware of the genesis at all times.

Azurite is claimed to be one of the most powerful healing stones in Atlantis where its psychic powers were so potent the secrets to its use were known only to priests. It became so shrouded in mystery many of its secrets are now thought to be lost.

In ancient Egypt, Azurite was valued by high priests and priestesses to raise their awareness to a god-conscious state, using the pigment to paint the protective eye of Horus, the young sky god, on their foreheads. Ancient Romans, as well the Egyptians, used Azurite for greater insight, for visionary powers, and particularly for hypnosis. The ancient Chinese called Azurite the Stone of Heaven believing it opened celestial gateways. The Mayans used Azurite to stimulate and inspire the psychic and mystical self, and to facilitate the transfer of information, knowledge and wisdom via thought.

 

 

C L E A N S I N G   &   C H A R G I N G :

Cleanse = Eliminates Stagnant Energy.

Charging = Crystals need to be Charged in order to Replenish their Energy, just like a battery! 

Crystals & Gemstones function similarly to batteries, emitting positive energy at a specific frequency into our bodies, resulting sometimes in a tingling sensation. Crystals absorb and convert negative energy, but they have to use their own energy to create a protective shield, which is necessary for deflecting or repelling negativity. When we use a crystal, it will eventually run out of energy and need to be recharged, just like a battery. In its depleted state, the crystal may have also absorbed negative energy, necessitating cleansing and then recharging it.

 

C L E A N S E

Cleanse by running under Spring water, using Sage Smoke, Intention or place on a bowl of Earth mixed with light salt. Sunlight and Moonlight can be used as well. Always follow your intuition.

 

 C H A R G E

Charge by placing on or near Selenite, Quartz Crystal or Smokey Quartz. You can also charge by placing your crystals in Sunlight for 1 - 3 hours or Overnight during a Full Moon - place your crystals on a table by a window or on a windowsill.

Programming your Crystals & Gemstones involves setting your intentions and infusing the Crystal with your desired energy. To program your Crystal, find a quiet space, hold the Crystal in your hand, and visualize your intentions. Focus on the qualities you wish to enhance or the goals you want to manifest. Feel the Crystal’s energy merging with your purposes, and state your affirmations or intentions aloud. The vibrational energy emitted by spoken words holds great power, as do our thoughts, our crystals are tools that amplify and direct our desires and wishes.
