Mythology

It is a rather rare mineral about which almost nothing has been passed down. In ancient times, it seems it was used to expand consciousness with the aim of establishing contact with the gods. It is thought to increase psychic sensitivity and prophetic dreams.

In the Middle Ages, azurite was an important pigment for the color blue, replacing the more expensive ultramarine blue, although it had the drawback of not being suitable for fresco painting, because it tended to turn to powder and fall off.

This effect would manifest many years later, which is why we have many frescoes where the blue has now almost completely fallen away, revealing the underlying preparation layer, the "morellone" red (for example, in the Crucifixion by Beato Angelico).

It activates the thyroid and promotes brain and nerve activity, thus stimulating the growth process.Recommended for joint pain, against cervical issues, and to strengthen the muscular system. Its effectiveness can be noticed by those who suffer from arthritis, rheumatism, scoliosis, and osteoporosis, as it activates the assimilation of copper, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and calcium, and therefore also in cases of bone fractures.
