Introduction to Azurite

A highly sought after crystal in the world of gemstones, Azurite is known for its stunning blue color, which evolved over the millennia through reactions between copper, hydrogen, carbonate, and oxygen. Azurite features deep contrasting shades of blue, which comes from its fusion with Malachite, a closely related mineral that contains nearly the same chemistry. In crystal healing, Azurite is a gem when it comes to enhancing creativity and inner wisdom because it cleanses and activates the third eye chakra.

To channel the healing properties of Azurite, place it in your office or studio for a constant flow of its powerful energy. Because it stimulates creativity and enhances intuition, the Azurite stone is excellent for using as a study aid or during a work session in the studio. Before you begin work on a project, sit quietly with the stone for twenty minutes to benefit from its inspiring energy.

Borrowing from the Zen tradition of meditation, gaze at the stone and notice any thoughts or feelings that come up. Keep a notebook handy in case you want to write down any notes that would be helpful later on. Then, gently let those thoughts and feelings fade away and begin to breath rhythmically while being mindful of inhaling positivity and exhaling any negative thought patterns that are holding you back from your natural state.
