Azurite
Azurite comes from mines in Arizona, including the old Bluebird and Morenci mines. Azurite is named after its azure-blue color, and is a highly prized stone used for many purposes including jewelry, Native American fetishes and as an altar stone. Prehistorically, native Americans crushed this stone and used it as paint. Azurite was used for ornamentation by ancient royalty, and is also thought to increase psychic powers, higher inspiration and clearer meditation; it also clarifies dreams and stimulates clear thinking.
The spiritual qualities of azurite are of a lightly cleansing or purifying nature. There is also a love aspect in this stone which is very gentle, kind and patient. Azurite is a pattern breaker. It carries a vibration that dissolves limited concepts. It works directly on the mental body to break up thought forms which are, essentially, patterns of limitations.
Azurite often occurs together with malachite in or near copper deposits. Azurite is a copper ore, and considered a conductor said to break old patterns that often limit us. When the two are combined, the malachite moves through the azurite to catalyze pattern shifts and transmit awareness of these changes to physical consciousness, causing acknowledgement of these changes to be almost immediate.
The addition of cuprite to the dynamic duo of azurite and malachite intensifies its ability to shift patterns and integrate changes. Cuprite is a crystalized form of copper, a major conductor of energy. When chrysocolla appears in any of these combinations, it awakens distant memories of a relationship with the earth that is primitive and instinctive, that changes with the seasons, and fully responds to its rhythms and signals.
