This choker style necklace possesses a deep, royal blue azurite stone with a sparkling, druzy surface that glistens in the light at every angle. This chunky stone may have some bling qualities yet remains a very down to earth mineral. This 22.5mmx45mm natural and rough chunk of azurite is set amongst sterling silver, twisted wire. It's suspended by a square link, sterling silver, cable chain. This chain has a heavier weight with a more masculine, contemporary design to contrast the stone's organic shape. This lays uniquely around the neck at a shorter length, which is 15" adjustable up to 16 1/2".

History and Metaphysical Properties:

Azurite: This is a copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits. It is often found side by side with green malachite. Its name comes from the word "azure". Azure is derived from the Arabic word for blue. It has been used for centuries as a blue pigment for paintings. However, it's color is delicate and its intensity may fade over time unless the stone is stored properly. It's important to store the azurite in a cool, dark place, much like its creation environment to protect its vibrant color.
Metaphysically, azurite is known as "The Stone of Heaven", for it promotes the pursuit of the Spirit and serves as a beacon to help unite the subconscious with the conscious mind. This makes it a great stone to hold while learning to meditate. Azurite is also a stone for "Letting Go"... of old behavior, old patterns and old ways of seeing the world. It brings clarity and wisdom, and challenges us to rethink our rash decisions.
