Azurite—Jewel of Wisdom

Azurite, found in the state of Arizona, is in the malachite family but is much less common. It takes it blue color from the copper contained within. Azurite was rumored to be the philosopher’s stone and has an ancient reputation as an Egyptian jewel of wisdom, whereby priests and priestesses relied upon it for deepening spiritual awareness. The beautiful deep blue color is quite compelling and gave azurite wide favor with psychics throughout the ages, including the famed Edger Cayce, who used it to hone his psychic power.

It seemed no praise was too great for azurite in times past, when it was reputed to restore the brain and help unborn babies form. Now, it is worn for letting go of the past and for accepting what is to come, while seeing deep within. Azurite is good for the skin and bones as well as the spleen and thyroid. This meditation stone is most helpful if worn as a ring on the right hand.
