VISION Azurite is a very popular mineral because of its unparalleled colour, a deep blue called “azure”, hence its name. The colour is due to the presence of copper (a strong colouring agent) and the way the copper chemically combines with the carbonate groups (C03) and hydroxyls (OH). Azurite is transparent if in thin crystals, otherwise it appears translucent to opaque. Azurite has been used as a dye for paints and fabrics for eons. Unfortunately, at times its colour is too deep and larger crystals appear black. Small crystals and crusts show the lighter azure colour. Malachite is closely associated with azurite in many ways. Not only do they frequently occur together, they also have very similar formulae (a difference in structure produces the green colour for malachite). Malachite can also replace azurite, making a pseudomorph, or an exact copy of an azurite crystal (only now it would be green). It is also an unimportant ore of copper. Fine crystal clusters, nodular specimens, and interesting and beautiful combinations with malachite are important pieces in anyone’s healing collection. Associated minerals are limonite, chalcopyrite, native copper; calcite, cuprite, chrysocolla, malachite and other oxidized copper minerals. Azurite dissolves and transmutes fear into comprehension. Not only do you release the fear, but understand why you absorbed the fear vibration into your emotional body in the first place. Often when I work with clients I find that their fears or phobias are usually rooted deep within the sub-conscious level, often placed there during the formative years. As children we are extremely impressionable and completely open to the influence of our parents, relatives and teachers. We quickly absorb other people’s ideas, thoughts, feelings and emotions; indeed, children are very empathic. By releasing the fear vibration, we quickly find the root cause, allowing true healing to take place. Azurite has an energy that also brings renewal and can quickly motivate us into action; this is wonderful for all those who feel world-weary. Azurite integrates the physical body with the spiritual body for ease of communication and as such has been used for meditation practice. Azurite has a very powerful healing vibration and combines exceptionally well with other stones for an integrated smooth transmission, which facilitates stress-free healing and a gem essence made of azurite is very useful for stopping the side effects of true healing (healing crisis). Azurite is also beneficial for healing stress-related disorders. If you wish to use azurite for meditation assistance, the gem essence, when used externally on the throat and third eye chakras, is a very powerful vision enhancer. When combined with malachite it is penetrating, bringing up deep, hidden, negative emotional energies, then healing them and cleansing negative thought patterns or miasms that may have become entrenched in the causal body. This stone combination must be used with caution and understanding. Malachite gets to the core of the problem, the very heart of the matter; it fact it will leave no stone unturned in doing so. This makes it a very strong and powerful crystal, an idealist that can cause heart palpitations if worn, used or carried indiscriminately. Azurite/malachite does open doors, though, to deep emotional healing - and in its blue/green mantle you will eventually find a sanctuary of peace. Malachite also heals through the realization of the body – mind connection, which has been proved to play a significant role in the origins and exacerbations of many illnesses. The emotions work at a subtle energy level through the influences of the astral body, which feeds into the etheric body. It has become clear that depression and other emotional disorders can cause a suppression of the body’s natural defense against illness. This state of immuno-incompetence can later become translated into physical illness through an increased susceptibility to viral and bacterial agents, as well as through internal sources of disease like cancer. Distortions originating at the level of the astral body take time to work their way down through the etheric to the physical levels. This is why it may take weeks, months or even years before changes in the emotional/astral constitution become manifest as physical illness. Azurite treats skin, bones, teeth, the circulatory system, gall bladder, liver and kidney problems. It also addresses all problems related to a dysfunctional throat chakra, sore throats, neck-ache, thyroid problems, hearing problems, tinnitus and asthma, also emotional problems such as being over-talkative, dogmatic, self-righteous or arrogant; holding back from self-expression; unreliability and inconsistency of views. Affirmation: I use my inner vision to reach for the stars and my highest spiritual attainment. |
