Metaphysical & Spiritual Properties

Azurite is a powerful stone of spiritual transformation and awakening. It is known to activate the third eye chakra, enhance intuition and psychic abilities, and stimulate the mind. Azurite is also said to facilitate communication with spiritual guides and angels, and aid in the understanding of spiritual knowledge. It can be used for meditation, dream work, and to enhance creativity and self-expression. Azurite is also believed to help release old patterns and negative beliefs and promote positive change and growth.

History & Folklore

Azurite has been used for centuries as a pigment in paint and was highly valued by artists in the Renaissance period. 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.

Geological Information

Azurite is a soft stone named for its deep “azure blue” color. It is a copper carbonate mineral found in the upper oxidized portions of copper deposits. Azurite is a secondary mineral formed by the action of carbonated water acting on copper-containing minerals. It has a vitreous or glassy luster or sheen on a mineral surface. Over time, as it absorbs water, it changes into the mineral Malachite. Thus, the two are often found together, creating a brilliant deep blue stone with flashes of green or vice versa.

Works Well With...

Azurite works well with other stones that enhance intuition and psychic abilities, such as Iolite and Sodalite. It is also believed to work well with Malachite and Chrysocolla, it’s frequent companion minerals, as well as with other blue stones such as Lapis Lazuli and Blue Kyanite.
