Lapis Linguis – Azurite
“According to Cayce readings a psychically-inclined person could hold azurite in his or her hands for five or ten minutes, or wear it against their skin in the form of a pendant, and potentially raise their psychic vibrations to such an extent that miraculous things could happen. [See EC reading 440-11] ” – Sydney Kirkpatrick
The Mystical ‘Lapis’ Family Gems
By James Tyberonn
Of the 5 Minerals Listed Below, Azurite (Lapis Linguis) is by far the most rare in nature occurrence. Azurite is very brittle and rarely available in a viable form that may be fashioned into jewelry pendants. As a result of limited sources (& sporadically infrequent pockets that are often small & thus rapidly depleted), true natural specimens of untreated Azurite is much more expensive when the limited usable specimens for pendants are found. The crystallized azurite specimens are even more rare and can be as much as 10x more costly than the other mineral families of Lapis. All of which, are beneficial and referenced in the prolific Cayce readings.
After considerable study, my interpretation of the ‘3 Lapis’ minerals are:
- *Lapis Lazuli – Lazurite , Calcite, Silicate & Pyrite
- *Lapis Linguis – Azurite, Lazurite & Copper
- *Lapis Ligurius – Malachite – Copper Carbonate
All 3 have attributes of opening the 3rd eye, by stimulating the pineal, but azurite, lapis linguis, is the by far strongest vibratory rate, and may be too strong for the uninitiated.
Similar Attributes
- *Sodalite – Lazurite , Calcite, Silicate & Can Have Pyrite or Hematite (Iron) bands
- *Chrysocolla – Hydrated Copper Phyllosilicate
Most azurite jewelry offered on the internet is re-ground material, re-constituted ore material with coloring dyes added & mixed with bonding polymer adhesive into a dried conglomerate. It is not true azurite. The same is true of much turquoise and some lapis lazuli. Grounded re-constituted material does not carry the true attributes, and can be considered as manufactured lab created material. The best venue to acquire genuine azurite is at the Tucson Mineral Show, and event here in a dealer direct market, it is expensive in comparison to (pyritic) lapis lazuli and lapis linguis (Malachite). One of the better economical means of working with azurite is the use of raw mineral samples in matrix, but these, while less expensive than the rare specimens in a jewelry usable form, are also quite costly, due to their sporadic availability (and the ones that do become available are usually snapped up by geo collectors as museum specimens) but when these are available they are absolutely worth the acquisition for the serious metaphysician interested in the exceptional attributes, and visionary capacities of true azurite.
It is the considered opinion of this writer, that the natural untreated crystalline form of azurite is the optimal method of using azurite for visioning, by holding it in the hand.
