Ajoite is a blue or blue-green copper silicate mineral. It is named after Ajo, Arizona, where it was first identified. It is a rare mineral and is most frequently seen as an inclusion in Quartz. The most beautiful and plentiful Ajoite specimens in Quartz crystal points came from the Messina Copper Mine in South Africa. In addition to Ajoite, some of these crystals contain Hematite, Lim-onite and/or Papagoite. Another small discovery of Ajoite in agatized Quartz was made in Zimbabwe. As of this writing, both of these finds are exhausted and the only Ajoite in the marketplace comes from old stocks from the two African discoveries.  Occasionally, Ajoite forms within Quartz in bright turquoise blue shapes that are said to look like angels. From some of these, feathery threads of pure copper emanate in patterns suggestive of wings. The 'Angel Wing Ajoites' are some of the most avidly sought specimens of all.  Other unusual Ajoites include a very few druzy crystallized pieces discovered around 1998 in Zimbabwe. From this same find came rich blue and blue-green agatized Ajoite. Whereas the Messina Quartz crystals mostly contained small spots of pure Ajoite, the agatized Quartz displayed much more color. Some of it was pure enough to be made into faceted gems, cabochons or beads, and some of the larger pieces were used to make exceptional Ajoite spheres.  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. On some occasions, people break into tears the first time they hold a piece of Ajoite. Ajoite is believed to transmute negative energy to positive energy and to relieve unhappiness. It is a stone of feminine em-powerment and activates the throat chakra.  .Robert Simmons.  Ajoite in Quartz emanates one of the sweetest, most nurturing and loving energies of any stone in the mineral kingdom. It is a pure bearer of the vibrations of the Earth mother, the feminine aspect of the life force of our planet. Ajoite can cleanse the heart of sorrow, wash negativity out of one's thoughts, and open the floodgates for the ocean of love to lift one to the higher planes. It clears and activates the throat chakra, assisting one in communicating one's deepest inner truth. It helps one connect with the Goddess energies, both within oneself and throughout the natural world. Ajoites can be very powerful tools. They can clear the auric field and align the Light body with the physical. They can harmonize the energies of any chakra, disperse contracted thought forms that are creating pain, dispel any amount of negativity, and call forth the truth from oneself and others. All of Ajoite's work is accomplished in the most soft and loving manner; it is all but impossible to resist the gentle transformation it brings. And one should not resist, for the changes engendered by Ajoite are great blessings indeed.  Ajoite is a strengthener, healer and harmonizer of the emotional body. Its sweet vibrations not only soothe us - they also draw out the poison of one's subconsciously held sorrows, fears, rage and old woundings. Meditation with Ajoite can bring both tears and laughter, as feelings arise in what is often a deep yet gentle release of inner tensions. Yet the outcome is a movement towards joy, a happiness that needs no outer reason.  There is something profoundly wholesome about Ajoites. They not only help us to release our old grief and pain, but once this process has progressed, we are gifted with a sense of growing strength and confidence, a clear-minded sense of our own goodness and our ability to move forward on the spiritual path. Ajoite reminds us of beauty, both inner and outer, and it inspires us to bring more beauty into the world through all the things we say and do. Ajoite can help one awaken the emotions of compassion and forgiveness - first for oneself and then for all beings. These emotions are key in the healing of the many conflicts that exist on all levels of human life.   In regard to the crystals containing 'Ajoite Angels,' I maintain that all Ajoite crystals, gems, tumbled stones, spheres and beads contain angels, but that these specimens show their forms as a physical manifestation. It is indeed a delight to discover within the structure of the crystal the feathery blue 'wings' and sunburst patterns which make one immediately aware of the higher beings manifesting through these stones. They are quite beautiful and most desirable. But I say again, on the energetic level, all Ajoites are the expression of what we would term 'angels,' and for this they all deserve to be cherished.  .Naisha Ahsian.Like many of the copper-based stones, Ajoite emanates a strong female energy ally. It is an ally to call upon when one wishes to develop receptivity, stillness and surrender to the Divine. Its color reminds one of the azure ocean and sky, lending a calming and cooling influence to inflamed emotions and inflammation in the body. Because of its blue color, one may be tempted to think of this stone as predominantly a throat chakra stone, but its energies are powerful activators of many levels of the energetic bodies and the chakra column. While it is effective in opening the throat area, its energies are better used to activate the channel of communication with the Divine through the third eye, crown and etheric chakras.  Ajoite is one of the highest stones of angelic and Divine communication that I have yet found. Its frequencies assist one not only in opening to guidance from higher realms, but also in the grounding of that guidance onto the Earth plane through communication or teaching. Simply receiving personal information or guidance from Spirit is not the highest use of this stone. Instead, the information that is accessible through Ajoite's energy pattern is of a more macrocosmic nature, pertaining to the evolution of humanity and the highest good of all. For this reason it is an excellent stone for use by channels, spiritual teachers or others who have the responsibility of effectively communicating spiritual information to groups and humanity in general.  Ajoite can assist in calming an overactive thought process, settling the mind and allowing for more focus and concentration. It can assist one in perceiving where self-limiting beliefs may be influencing one's ability to manifest and create in the world. It is an excellent stone to employ when deeper understanding of karmic patterns is desired.  .Spiritual.  Ajoite assists in connecting with Divine guidance and information. It is an excellent stone to use for communion with angelic entities or the nurturing aspect of the Divine source. It can assist one in maintaining mental focus on No-Thing during meditation and can assist one in releasing worries and fears in order to turn one's attention more fully to the Divine.  .Emotional.  On an emotional level the effects of Ajoite are multifold. Its energy supports a sense of nurturance and emotional rescue, and at the same time it stimulates the release and cleansing of emotional patterns or lessons. Ajoite can engage inner vision and higher understanding as well as the emotional self. Ajoite has a calming and uplifting effect on the emotional body. It can help those who are subject to extreme emotional polarities or who are prone to excessive anger or fear. It helps one to gain perspective on situations that are emotionally charged and can help one to understand the underlying emotional basis for the experience. It is useful in gaining understanding of the karmic or alternate life roots of emotional patterns and experience. This enables one to perceive the spiritual basis of life's lessons as it guides one to gently but firmly remove old emotional patterning.  .Physical.  Ajoite can be used to help elevate one's mood when hormonal imbalance causes depression, excessive anger or other emotional extremes. It is an effective stone to use when pms or menopausal symptoms cause difficulties. It can help anyone - male or female - with issues of extreme anger or fear, by assisting one in maintaining a sense of center through emotional extremes. It assists iron-based stones such as Hematite in strengthening the blood, and so can be used as an adjunct stone in balancing issues of weak blood, such as anemia.  .Affirmation.  I open my heart to love and speak its truth with openness and compassion. As I am healed, I heal others.
