This addition to my ongoing series of blog posts about gem and mineral fact, fiction and lore features ajoite.
Ajoite is a copper silicate mineral that is named for its type locality in the Ajo District of Pima County, Arizona. It is a secondary mineral that forms from the oxidation of other secondary copper minerals. This gem ranges in color from blue-green to light green and is transparent to translucent. It is associated with other rare and colorful minerals such as shattuckite, papagoite and plancheite; which makes very attractive specimens. Lore
"Ajoite is an important metaphysical stone and is much sought after by crystal lovers. Its energies are emotionally soothing and healing, and many people report that Ajoite connects them to the heart of the Earth itself." 1
The stone of unconditional love, ajoite helps in accepting ones circumstances, and environment. Ajoite is known to enhance creativity and increases one's ability to speak from the heart. It will aid in the realization of the holder's dreams.
On a spiritual level ajoite aides in communication with the higher power and helps us connect with other spiritual beings.
"Ajoite produces a melding between the heart chakra and the throat chakra and facilitates speaking that which is in ones heart." 2
