Azurite is known to be one of the world’s most powerful crystals for the third eye chakra. It can stimulate psychic development and abilities, and open your mind in ways you never knew were possible! Although this crystal is considered rare, it has been used for thousands of years by the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Mayans.

🦋 Fun Facts 🦋

¤ Azurite gets its name from the arabic word for “blue,” which translates to “azure.”

¤ Azurite is most often found mixed with malachite. The reason for this is that sometimes the chemical composition of the crystal will change, causing it to lose the chemical hydroxyl. This in turn will cause parts of the azurite crystal to be changed into malachite, and In some cases, the entire crystal will be altered into malachite

¤ When azurite is crushed into a fine powder it can be used as pigment for blue paint and fabric dye, although it is very costly as azurite is not a common crystal. Pigment made from azurite was used by the ancient egyptians, and was used all the way up through the middle ages and renaissance. The only problem with this, aside from being very costly, is that over time, pigments made with azurite weather into malachite, causing the color to change to a light green.

¤ Azurite is a form of copper ore and is typically found above deposits of copper. Because of this, geologists and miners often use the location of azurite deposits to indicate where to mine for copper.

¤ Azurite wasn’t just used as a pigment by the ancients. In Egypt, priests and priestesses would use azurite to channel the gods. Azurite was also used for similar purposes by the ancient Chinese, and Mayans.
