Azurite Jewelry

Wearing Azurite Jewelry is thought to improve all psychic abilities, increase the ability to achieve trances and help bring on prophetic dreams. Especially powerful when placed on the Third Eye. Some believe Azurite is an intermediary between "life forces" and our "earthly existence".

Azurite is an important gemstone in Opening the 5th Chakra (Throat Chakra). Natural Healers use Azurite to help chronic worriers. It is also said to improve creativity and help reach meditative calm.

Healing Properties: Thought to reduce stress, especially worry, panic attacks, anorexia, and bulimia. Thought to decrease inflammation.

Scientific Properties: Composed of Copper Hydroxyl Carbonate. Azurite actually has the same chemical composition of Malachite and the two are often closely associated. All Azurite will eventually become Malachite with time as it is unstable at room temperature, pressure and humidity.

Usually identified by its softness (3.5 - 4.0 on the Moh's Hardness Scale). It also fizzes with a mild acid solution (as do all carbonates).

Important locales include Chessy, France, Wales and New South Wales, Namibia, and Clifton and Bisbee, Arizona, USA.

Owner Warning! Azurite is rather soft and cleaves easily. Care should be used when wearing Azurite jewelry as it is not durable enough for every day wear.
