AZURITE- PHYSICAL & METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Azurite is generally found with copper deposits in the western United States. Revered for its stunning deep blue color, azurite is “soft” meaning it can be easily damaged and should be handled and stored carefully. It is closely associated with malachite and can often be found growing alongside or even around and inside deposits of this other copper carbonate. Azurite has been known for centuries for its healing powers as well as for its aid in psychic and intellectual development. It balances both left and right sides of the brain to awaken intuition and awareness. Edgar Cayce recommended that it be worn against the skin for most positive results. Its healing properties are intensified by the inclusion of copper in its makeup, making it perfect for relief of pain, especially in the joints as well as encouraging circulation and repairing the sinuses. A cleansing stone, azurite should be laid upon the body to filter impurities and illnesses found in the skin.
