Azurite
Azurite is a deep, royal blue stone which takes the form of a dense aggregate, small crystals or spherical balls. It often occur with malachite and/or chrysocolla and near to copper deposits.
Chakra: Third Eye
The energies of change and purification are associated with Azurite. It increases intuitiveness and sensitivity and provides a steady, inward focus. Azurite is a wonderful stone for meditation, to help clear and balance the third eye so it can receive finer energies. Azurite initiates transformation and is good to use with other transformational stones related to the third eye, such as Amethyst, Sodalite and Lapis Lazuli. It facilitates clear meditation and will help cleanse the mental body, thereby ridding it of superfluous "junk" and enhancing clarity. Azurite assists the process of renewal by assisting mental patterns to surface in order for them to be reviewed. It enhances communication with others and the ability to listen. Used at the third eye, it will help when you are having problems in seeing clearly. It enhances creativity, intuition and psychic ability. It is also useful in meditation for enhancing a relaxed state.
Azurite/Malachite combination: Used at the third eye, this combination stone will strengthen the abilities of Azurite alone, bringing more clarity and understanding, and clearer vision in the physical sense too.
