Ajoite
Ajoite is highly prized by mineral
collectors for it's intense blue/green coloring and also for it's metaphysical
properties. Melody chose to include a photo of Ajoite on the back cover of her
book "Love is in the Earth". In fact the crystal in that photograph
belonged then, and still does, to an acquaintance of mine. I have had the
privilege of handling it and it is the most exquisite stone.
Ajoite was first found identified at Ajo
in Arizona where it was discovered by the Papago Indians and highly valued as a
bringer of purity and peace. Up until the early 1960's it was thought to be the
only occurrence of this mineral. In fact it had been found, but not correctly
identified, in 1947 at Messina (now called Musina) in the far North of
South Africa. Only when a second pocket was discovered in 1960 was it correctly
identified. The last discovery was in 1991 at the Messina mine in excess of 4000
foot below the surface. Since then the mine has been closed due to the very
dangerous conditions. It is highly unlikely that the mine will ever be opened
again. As a result of this the Ajoite crystals, which are much prized by mineral
collectors, are virtually impossible to obtain. The pieces you see below are
pedigree Messina.
Metaphysical Properties Of
Ajoite
This is a stone that produces a sense of peace which harmonizes
the emotional body. Ajoite will assist in release of sorrow, anger and fear. It
is wonderful if you seek to heal old wounds or find compassion and it assists in
connection to Inner self, Higher Self and All That Is. It helps open one up the
boundless potential that exists in each one of us.
It is a very sweet stone to use when working with the throat
and heart chakras and in meditation and for all levels of healing.
We are very privileged to have been able to acquire some Ajoite
included in snow quartz. I am very fond of snow quartz both for it's calming and
soothing metaphysical properties and as a stone for working with the crown
chakra. With these characteristics it is not surprising that it compliments the
Ajoite so perfectly.
Each piece varies as to size and the amount of ajoite in the
snow quartz. In line with Metastones policy of letting you choose the stone that
speaks to you we have photographed each piece. The one you select is the one we
will send you.
