🔮 Azurite: The Deep Blue Alchemist

💙🩵 Third Eye Chakra, Throat Chakra

Azurite, with its mesmerizing deep blue hue, is a stone of inner vision and celestial wisdom. Known for its intense color that can range from a vivid azure to a dark indigo, azurite has been a treasured mineral throughout history, not only for its beauty but also for its powerful metaphysical properties.

Historical Significance

Azurite has been valued since ancient times. In ancient Egypt, it was used as a dye and a powerful amulet for spiritual insight. The Greeks and Romans also revered it, believing it could enhance psychic abilities. During the Renaissance, azurite was ground into a pigment for the vibrant blues in many iconic paintings.

Metaphysical Properties

Inner Vision and Psychic Abilities: Azurite is closely associated with the Third Eye Chakra, the center of intuition and psychic development. It is believed to awaken psychic abilities, enhance intuition, and provide deeper insights into one’s spiritual path. Meditating with azurite can open the mind to inner visions and spiritual guidance.

Communication and Clarity: Resonating with the Throat Chakra, azurite aids in clear and effective communication. It encourages the expression of thoughts and feelings with clarity and confidence. This makes it an excellent stone for those seeking to improve their communication skills and articulate their inner truths.

Emotional Healing and Release: Azurite’s calming energy helps to release stress, anxiety, and fear, promoting a state of deep emotional healing. It encourages the release of old emotional wounds and negative thought patterns, facilitating a sense of peace and serenity. This emotional cleansing helps to balance the mind and spirit.

Spiritual Growth and Awareness: Known as the "Stone of Heaven," azurite is believed to facilitate a connection to higher realms and spiritual guides. It supports spiritual growth, helping individuals to expand their consciousness and explore the depths of their spirituality. This makes it a valuable stone for those on a path of spiritual awakening.

Intellectual Expansion: Azurite is also known to stimulate the intellect and enhance mental clarity. It aids in the retention of information, making it an excellent stone for students and those engaged in complex mental tasks. It encourages a deep understanding of new concepts and ideas, promoting intellectual expansion.

Characteristics

Appearance and Structure: Azurite typically forms in deep blue, prismatic crystals, and can also appear in masses or rosettes. Its vivid color is due to its high copper content. The surface may show intricate patterns and a silky luster, making each piece unique.

Care and Handling: Azurite is relatively soft, with a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4. It should be handled with care to avoid scratching or damage. Prolonged exposure to light and heat can cause the color to fade, so it’s best to store azurite away from direct sunlight.

Common Sources: Notable sources of azurite include Morocco, known for its stunning deep blue crystals; the Bisbee and Morenci mines in Arizona, USA; the Milpillas Mine in Mexico, and Australia’s Burra Burra Mine. Each location offers azurite with distinctive qualities and patterns.

Azurite is a stone of deep spiritual significance and transformative power. Whether used for meditation, emotional healing, or intellectual pursuits, its energy promotes inner vision, clarity, and spiritual growth. Embrace the wisdom of azurite and let its celestial blue light guide you towards greater insight and awareness.

🌠✨ Unique & Collectible ✨🌠

For Collectors of rare and unique crystals and for anyone that likes beautiful pieces around the home to add to the beauty and energy of your space.

Niome and I have been delving deeper and deeper into this part of our business for our own pleasure and collection but also for you to add to yours.

We spend countless hours developing relationships and connections with all our suppliers who are aligned with our love for all things crystal and through this process we have been able to acquire some amazing, beautiful pieces.

For us, collectible crystals are not an outlay but rather an investment. Whether the investment is for staging and uplevelling your homes energy, your energy and your homes décor or you see the value within a piece itself.

A piece that you may see today for a certain price may be a completely different price in 5-10 years’ time as everything comes to an end at some point, even certain varieties of crystals. This has been said to both Niome and myself from various friends within the industry and we have taken note.

Then there are crystals that have a delicate structure like Scolecite with their acicular fine needles shooting out from their matrix. Such delicate specimens and when you think about first the care within the handling that’s gone into first mining them, to then shipping them all around the world, my hat goes off to them.

The pieces we have in stock are pieces that truly have been cared for through all the processes it took for them to reach us.

Here are a few things to consider and even research when looking at collectible crystals for yourself -

✨ The size of a certain crystal can be a factor as to whether it’s considered a collectible piece and can vary depending on the crystal type.

✨ larger pieces have been around for a lot longer so to find a larger piece in a specific crystal can be an amazing investment. While smaller crystals depending on the stone itself might be of the rarer variety or the quality is outstanding, therefore it’s amazing it was even found.

✨ If it is a fragile and delicate crystal and has not sustained any damage or minor damage.

✨ Quality of course comes into it as you can have some amazing fluorite and then you have some beautiful gem like Fluorite which is quite rare, especially Blue Fluorite

✨ Specific crystals formed and still on their matrix opposed to polished and carved pieces etc of the same crystal. This can be the game changer between an incredible piece and a collectible piece.

In the end it comes down to what you are drawn too and what is drawn to you. The bonus is when you buy a collectible crystal it becomes a physical investment and will only grow in value in the years to come.

What will your next investment be?
