Azurite has been called the “Stone of Heaven” that aids in the “pursuit of the heavenly self”.  Metaphysically, Azurite is a lovely Third Eye Chakra stone, awakening psychic abilities and helping the user to recognize intuition and spiritual guidance when it occurs.  Helpful in relieving worries, phobias, and nagging negative thoughts, Azurite also helps one to recognize the areas in life needing attention.

Native Americans used Azurite as a sacred stone for communication with Indian Spirit Guides.  The Mayans are said to have used it for sacred, mystical communication via thought.

Azurite infuses intellectual logic with love, fostering compassion for oneself and others.  Used with the Throat Chakra, Azurite encourages communication from the heart and heightens awareness of Spiritual communication.  Azurite can help dissolve energy blockages, communication blockages, as well as blockages to one’s progress.  Azurite calms and relieves mental stress.  Azurite is useful in meditation to clear the mind, promote deep introspection and visualization, and allow clear recognition of intuitive messages that are received.
