Azurite
is a soft stone copper carbonate mineral, named for its deep
“azure blue” color. To the inhabitants of Atlantis and the early
Egyptians, Azurite was a most potent psychic stone and shrouded in
mystery; its secrets known only to the highest priests and
priestesses. It was called the Stone of Heaven by the ancient
Chinese who believed it to open celestial gateways, and was revered
by Greeks and Romans for its visionary insights and healing powers.
For the Mayans, Azurite inspired the mystical self and facilitated
the transfer of wisdom and knowledge via thought, while Native
Americans used this sacred stone to contact their spiritual Indian
guide, feel the presence and understand the message.
For
modern practitioners, Azurite’s metaphysical properties still
mirror its legacy powers, clearing away tension and confusion, and
opening the mind to new perspectives. This crystal stimulates the
intellect, awakening the development of
psychic and intuitive abilities, and brings inner vision into
alignment with spiritual guidance. It may be used for the
enhancement of dreams, entering a meditative or channeling state,
and enables out of body journeys to take place safely.
Azurite is often found in nature mixed with Malachite, another copper
carbonate mineral, this one with a bright green color. Together, in
polished form, they resemble Mother Earth and carry not only their
individual properties, but a powerful blend of healing energies.
Azurite-Malachite is an exceptional conductor of energy, bringing a
grounded, more integrated process in healing physical disease. The
blue ray penetrates and moves energy, calming stress levels within
the system while the green ray facilitates a deep healing force.
This
particular piece of Azurite-Malachite that is used in the knife
handle is wild looking with different shades throughout.
Most camels today are
domesticated and they provide meat, milk, hair, and bones. The leg
bones are often used for making knife handle. These leg bones are
slightly more dense than cow leg bones and polish to a beautiful
luster
and provides
a nice contrast
to the Azurite-Malachite.
