Azeztulite: Heaven and Earth - Jewelry, Crystals and Gems

The stone Azeztulite has become a center of controversy. On the one hand, among the community of people who work spiritually with stones, it has generated a lot of excitement. Stories about its origin, purpose and energy qualities, along with people's experience of these things, have made it a sought-after material. On the other hand, some people see Azeztulite as a 'fake mineral,' and they feel obliged to warn others not to be fooled by the claims of Azeztulite sellers. Where does the truth lie among these conflicting views? As an author who takes the spiritual qualities of stones seriously, and as someone who has been a part of the original emergence of Azeztulite, I hope to set the record straight and to do what I can to reconcile the opposing points of view.

Some of the problem, as I see it, stems from conflicts between different frames of reference. For the past thirty years, various metaphysical writers and business people have given new 'spiritual' names to various stones. Sometimes these names have arisen from the person's sense of inner guidance, and other times the names may have been more oriented towards marketing. The naming of stones for their purported spiritual properties has its origins in past centuries. The legendary 'Chintamani' stone of Hindu lore was known as a wish-fulfilling gem. In recent times, commercial motives have generated names such as Tanzanite, created by the Tiffany Company for the less romantic-sounding Blue Zoisite. From my perspective, people are free to give whatever names they feel are appropriate to stones, to products, to themselves or anything else, as long as they are open and truthful about what they are doing.

Some people in the mineral trade believe that the only real properties of stones are their strictly physical ones- chemical makeup, color, molecular structure and form, and they may maintain that the New Age interest in stones as aids for healing and expansion of consciousness are either delusional or dishonest. From this position, the renaming of stones for their spiritual properties appears deceptive, or just plain kooky. On the other side, people who can feel stone energies and who value them for the inner experiences they generate are often more interested in a stone's vibrational or healing qualities than in its chemical and structural nature. I feel it is important to look at both the physical and the metaphysical qualities of stones, which is why both perspectives are represented for each stone in The Book of Stones, the gemstone encyclopedia I co-wrote.

Now to Azeztulite. The name of this stone arrived in a rather unusual way, and I am involved in the story. I will offer the history briefly below, and at the end there is a link for those who want to read it in full. I will mention here that the would-be debunkers are right in this sense: Azeztulite is quartz. From the strictly materialistic point of view, that is the end of it, and in my writings over the past fifteen years, I have been saying that Azeztulite is quartz. However, for those interested in the metaphysical side of things, there is much more to the story. Energetically, although Azeztulite is quartz, not all quartz is Azeztulite.

Around 1991, a woman named Naisha Ahsian contacted me at my company, Heaven and Earth. She said she had been in telepathic contact with a group of angelic entities calling themselves the Azez. She related that these beings were invisibly present here on Earth, and were on a mission of spiritual assistance for humanity and our planet. The story she told went on to say that these beings had told her that they were in the process of 'awakening' or activating a terrestrial stone for the purpose of carrying the energy they served, which they called the Nameless Light. If people opened themselves to the currents emanated by these stones, they would receive an infusion of the Nameless Light, which had the potential to benefit them both spiritually and physically. Further, allowing the Nameless Light into our bodies and consciousness would ultimately create a web of spiritual Light which could raise the frequency of the entire planet, ushering in spiritual influences for worldwide healing and enlightenment. She was told that the stone should be called Azeztulite, although this was not its earthly name, and that sooner or later we at Heaven and Earth would have it.

I had already had numerous spiritual experiences of stone energies, so I was open to the sort of story Naisha told, although I was skeptical of whether she or anyone could predict that we would have some new stone before we actually got it. I also thought I knew about most of the minerals in the world, and could not imagine what 'new' stone might arrive, if her prediction was correct. The story has many more details than I will go into in this article, but suffice it to say that over the next several months I kept my eyes and ears open, in case the 'Azeztulite' were to make an appearance. Then one day a package arrived from a rockhound in North Carolina. I did not know the man, but he had seen an ad I placed, offering to purchase Phenacite crystals. Some twenty-five years earlier, he had collected a batch of clear and/or white crystalline rocks and fragments which he believed to be Phenacite. When he saw my ad, he sent a box of them to me, along with his offer to sell them.

I could not identify the stones by sight, because they were all irregular fragments. However, when I held one to my forehead, the energy currents I immediately felt were very strong, and somewhat similar to Phenacite's. I tested the specific gravity of the stones (through water immersion), and they did not confirm to be Phenacite. In fact, they had the same specific gravity as Quartz. Nonetheless, they were far more powerful energetically than any Quartz I had ever touched, so I was unsure of what to think about them. The next day I called Naisha to come and have a look. As soon as she held one of the stones and tuned in to its vibrations, she said, 'This is the Azeztulite. You have to buy it!' Impressed by the currents of these surprising new arrivals, I took her advice, paying the rockhound's requested price, even though it was far higher than what was commanded by common quartz. I knew that, whatever the reason, the vibes coming from these stones made them far from common. My wife agreed with this assessment, as did the many friends to whom we introduced the stones in the first weeks. It was exciting, and rather amazing, to be involved in this emerging phenomenon.

Over the next fifteen years, we saw thousands of people connecting with our Azeztulites, and we collected many letters testifying to the beneficial effects of these stones, which were sometimes life-changing. I have personally witnessed, on dozens of occasions, people bursting into joyful tears within moments of holding an Azeztulite stone or putting on an Azeztulite necklace. I have watched individuals who were completely skeptical about the whole idea of stone energies feel and be astonished by Azeztulite's currents. The same people in many cases felt nothing from an ordinary quartz crystal. On the more sensitive end of the scale, people who are good at sensing stone energies are frequently somewhat overwhelmed by the power of Azeztulite, and it often takes time for them to acclimate themselves to its energies.

I have also watched more of Naisha's predictions, received from the Azez, come true. These include the discovery of more stones carrying the Azeztulite currents, in Vermont, North Carolina, Colorado, and even as far away as India. The identification of these currents is neceassarily a subjective one. Chemically, everything identified as Azeztulite is quartz. (In the case of Pink Azeztulite, the material is a mixture of quartz and dolomite.) According to Naisha, the ultimate goal of the Azez is for all the quartz on Earth to 'catch' the vibrational patterns of the Nameless Light, and to thereby become Azeztulite. (This would hypothetically be something of a financial blow to those of us who are Azeztulite sellers, but the prospect of the Earth's becoming an awakened planet of spiritual Light is more than enough compensation!)

The above is my summation of the history of Azeztulite's origin, effects and purpose, from the metaphysical perspective. Those who reject the idea that stones carry spiritual energies will certainly reject my ideas as well, and I have no quarrel with them. I think we must all be guided by our experiences rather by anyone else's words. It is my experience that leads me to the place where I am, accepting the Azeztulite story because I have lived within it and it has affected my life very deeply.

Does this make Azeztulite a 'fake mineral?' Not from my perspective. If people say Azeztulite is chemically something other than quartz, that is untrue. However, when they say that certain quartz stones have different energetic qualities than others, and that certain subjectively felt currents identify a stone as Azeztulite, that is something which can only be determined by experience, since we have no machines capable of measuring the spiritual energies of stones.

From the spiritual perspective, if the story of the Azez is true, it would make perfect sense for beings interested in facilitating worldwide spiritual enlightenment to choose to 'awaken' a mineral as abundant as quartz, which makes up 73% of the Earth's crust. Why is all the quartz on Earth not already vibrating as Azeztulite? We don't know, although there are indications from the communications of the Azez that suggest that our participation is essential. As physical beings, we can 'ground' and spread Azeztulite's energies in way that is crucial to the fruition of the mission of these beings. Is there such a thing as fake Azeztulite? To this I must answer affirmatively. Over the past several years, we became aware that a number of people, on eBay and other online sites, as well as in the wholesale marketplace, were selling common quartz crystals, raw rocks and tumbled stones as Azeztulite. In one instance, we saw that a seller was buying quartz from eBay vendors and immediately reselling the same items as Azeztulite, without even changing the pictures! This sort of thing presents a problem more difficult with Azeztulite than with other stones, since one cannot make discriminations based on chemical composition. It also, understandably, gives rise to some of the complaints of the Azeztuite 'debunkers.'

Many years ago, in part because we foresaw the possibility of such problems, we at Heaven and Earth began to use the trademark symbol after the name Azeztulite, and to make this name a designated trademark of our company and the Azeztulite products we offer. This was the only way we had of protecting the energetic integrity of the stones, and of resisting the dilution of the significance of Azeztulite through lesser stones being marketed under this name. All of the stones we present under that name have been tested in subjective meditative evaluation, and are confirmed to carry the spiritual qualities of Azeztulite. Whenever we sell an Azeztulite stone, we include a guarantee card certifying the stone to be genuine Azeztulite.

Now, this term 'genuine Azeztulite' is very important from the spiritual perspective, which values stones for their energetic qualities. These qualities are vividly present to those with senstivity to stones. For those uninterested in the metaphysical qualities of stones, there is no reason to be interested in Azeztulite. To the strictly materialistic perspective, it is just another brand name. Yet even from the materialist side, the name must be respected, because it is a legal trademark, and it is untrue to call stones properly designated by a trademarked name 'fake,' unless we have misrepresented what they are physically. In our writings and in our trademark papers, we have clearly stated that Azeztulite is quartz.

I hope by this time the reader sees, as I do, that much of the ado about 'fake Azeztulite' has arisen because of the differences between the materialist and the metaphysical points of view. The rest may have to do with legitimate concerns about unscrupulous sellers usurping our trademarked name and applying it to any piece of quartz they want to sell. We deplore this situation, and have worked to notify trademark violators to cease and desist. We will continue to do so.

What about me? Am I saying all this simply in order to sell my own stones? Well, of course I want to sell my stones. That is how I make my living. Yet, to me, the whole story of Azeztulite means something much deeper than that. Over the years, I have come to believe fully that the beings called Azez are very real, and that their amazing mission is genuine as well. I have had so many experiences with Azeztuite that I am certain in my own mind and heart that these stones are a blessing to the world. I feel a responsibility to do all I can to facilitate and protect the mission of the Azez, and for that reason I have invested many of my resources and years of my life to bring these stones forward. (There are plenty of stones in the world that one can sell, if making money is the issue, without having to endure a controversy.) We at Heaven and Earth love the stones and the spiritual beings we encounter through them, and we stand behind all our products. On everything we sell, we offer a guarantee of satisfaction, backed by a full refund. For those interested in Azeztulite but unsure of whether to believe what I or others have written about it, I suggest that you try it. You have nothing to lose.

One other piece of evidence I'll offer in defense of my sincere belief in Azeztulite is this: I have given away, and continue to give away, thousands of pieces of this stone, wherever I go. At workshops, conferences, and in chance encounters, I am quick to give an Azeztulite stone to whomever my intuition suggests. Currently at Heaven and Earth, we give a free Azeztulite with every purchase, in order to help along the spread of the Namelsss Light. I believe that if we want to generate anything good in the world, we should begin by being generous.

For those who still believe all of this stuff is New Age malarkey, I hear you, and I wish you well. I was once one of you. It took some dramatic experiences, even before Azeztulite arrived, to change my point of view. I was an Ivy League graduate with a psychology degree. There was a lot that I thought I 'knew,' and it kept my eyes closed to many of the wonders I have since discovered. Crossing that line of trust in the unseen can feel like a risky move, and there are plenty of illusions in both the physical and the inner realms, but my heart tells me to trust my path and be true to it. It is from that place of trust that I offer these words for those who wish to hear them.

key words.  Inner Light, alternate realities, joy and serenity. element.  Storm. chakras.  All (including the etheric chakras above the body). Azeztulite has one of the most unusual stories of any stone in this book. Chem-ically it is a variety of Quartz with a hexagonal (trigonal) crystal system and a hardness of 7. If it were not for its exceptional energies, probably no one would be interested in these rather nondescript stones. They are colorless, white, or a mixture of the two, and their shapes are irregular. The original and most powerful Azeztulite came from a single find in North Carolina around 1970, and over thirty years later a second deposit was uncovered in Vermont. The Vermont Azeztulite is generally considered to have smoother, less intense energies, though both stones vibrate in the same range of frequencies.. There is no way to explain Azeztulite without telling a personal story. Azeztulite emerged and came into the world of crystal lovers through a series of inner communications and synchronicities which began in 1991. They concern myself (Robert Simmons), my wife Kathy Warner and my friend and co-author Naisha Ahsian. Though telling such stories is not a part of the general format of this book, we all agreed upon making this exception.. Late in 1991, Kathy and I received a telephone call from three women who were working together in channeling. The person doing the primary work was Naisha Ahsian, who later came to work for us and created the Crystal Ally Cards. At that time we did not know her well, but when she called she told us that she and the other women wanted to commission a special piece of jewelry. It was to contain five powerful stones - Moldavite, Tanzanite, Danburite, Phenacite and Azeztulite. We were excited about making the piece but had to tell her we had never heard of Azeztulite. She answered that the beings who were communicating with her said that if our company, Heaven and Earth, did not yet have the stone, we would soon. She went on to say that the term Azeztulite was a channeled name, that the beings themselves were called the Azez, and that the stone would become a very important tool for Lightworkers. We were told that the new stone would be colorless and oddly shaped, not like the prismatic crystals of Quartz and other minerals with which we were familiar. After much searching and investigation by all of us, which turned up nothing, a box of colorless, oddly shaped stones arrived in the mail from a total stranger, a rock hound who thought they were Phenacite. When Naisha and her friends inspected the box they said, 'This is not Phenacite - it's the Azeztulite. Buy it!' And that is how we began our work with it. Shortly after we received the first batch, Naisha sent us a letter which included information on Azeztulite and the Azez, including transcripts from her channeling:. 'The beings with whom I am communicating are part of a society of interdimensional, extraterrestrial beings, and they have said we may call them the Azez. From what I understand, their reason for being centers around anchoring the 'Nameless Light' onto planets and into societies coming under the influence of that energy. The word 'Azez' seems to mean both Nameless Light and the embodiment of that Light in the universe, which is the Great Central Sun. The stone Azeztulite is not only for communication with the Azez, but it also holds and channels the energy of the 'Nameless Light and its manifestation from the Great Central Sun. These beings have bases all over the world at energy centers which are known and unknown to us, including the Andes, the Himalayas, the Adirondacks and other mountain ranges. . 'I'm not sure if channeling is the correct term for how I communicate with them. It is much more of a direct telepathic link.' . Next came a transcript of the words she received from the Azez: 'Interdimensional travel involves 'pulses' or energy in the universe. These pulses act as bridges for dimensional travel. When we travel through many dimensions, the energy pulses cause disruptions - making it difficult for us to communicate with other bases in other dimensions and on other planets. Here enters the stone Azeztulite. It is used by us in creating channels for our communications with other bases. On each base or planet we inhabit we have chosen a stone to be the anchor for these channels. . 'After some manipulation and alteration, we engineered the stone Azeztulite. It has the capacity to handle the intense energies being carried by it. Until recently, we did not have the technology to engineer a vessel to contain this energy frequency. Azeztulite is that vessel. In our culture, 'Azez' is the term for that which is the 'Nameless Light,' the embodiment of which is the Great Central Sun. Please understand the implications of what we are explaining. This stone is the embodiment of the Azez and carries with it the manifest energy of the Great Central Sun. This is a powerful stone. This stone heralds in many changes! . 'This stone will enable those of you who are telepathic 'windows' and dimensional engi-neers to begin to reclaim the knowledge of these practices from your genetic memory banks. We will now begin to make ourselves known more fully to those beings to aid in this awakening and transformation. . 'Disease on your planet is the result of certain frequencies of light. You block cellularly these light waves through thought-form shields and contracting emotional patterns. Your cellular consciousnesses are therefore unable to properly learn and expand, resulting in disease. Azeztulite carries energies and frequencies of Light that help release the shields and blocks, healing disease and aiding in cellular rejuvenation and expansion. Likewise, its activation at certain points on your planet will aid in healing the total organism of Gaia.'. Since that time we have seen hundreds, even thousands of people connect with Azeztulite. At trade shows, we have told the story of its discovery over and over again, yet each telling brings goose bumps of excitement. We have seen people experience such profound contact and recognition that they were in tears. It remains the stone which seems to carry the most rarefied of vibrations. It fascinates us to observe that some people feel it as extremely powerful while others notice nothing when they hold it. A few dozen people have purchased entire necklaces of Azeztulite nuggets, and we have felt each time that the necklaces were talismans of initiation which the owner was meant to use to awaken others as well as themselves.. Since its discovery, we have found that, chemically speaking, Azeztulite is a Quartz, found in a mountain area of North Carolina. To our knowledge, very little of it has been mined. This deepens the mystery of these stones, for energetically sensitive people agree almost universally that the vibrations of Azeztulite are nothing like those of ordinary Quartz. Personally, when we handle Azeztulite, we instantly feel an unmistakable tingling sensation in the hands, which can quickly spread over the whole body. Regular Quartz doesn't do this to us!. Naisha offers her latest insights: Azeztulite speaks to us of alternate realities. As humans, we inhabit a very narrow range of reality. It is as though we walk this Earth with blinders on, never seeing the incredible depth and beauty of all the levels of reality that surround us. Azeztulite was sent as an ally to aid us in connecting with the other realms around us, enabling us to open to the true scope of perception of which we are capable. .  The coming Age of Light is about opening ourselves to these other more expanded levels of reality. It is about reconnecting with the Source of energy that exists beyond us all and is embodied in the Great Central Sun. Azeztulite carries this energy, and when we resonate with it, it shares this broadened perspective with us. From this connection we will gain a greater wisdom and understanding of the beings that we truly are - beings of Light.. Azeztulite's New Level of Activation.  Years after Azeztulite's arrival, new information came through the spirit guide Radha: 'A gate or veil has recently been opened, regarding the energies of Azeztulite. There has been an intensification of the vibrations emanating from these stones. A group of higher beings foretold this quickening in a past message: 'The stones called Azeztulite are on the brink of activation to a higher level of functioning. As the vibrations of your planet are gradually increased, there will be a transition point at which a kind of quantum leap will occur. Azeztulite, because of its interdimensional qualities, is already in contact with the vibrational state beyond this quantum leap. As the planet moves closer to this transition, the Azeztulite will emanate more and more of the energies of the coming new higher state. People who wear or carry Azeztulite are likely to achieve the higher state more rapidly and easily than they might otherwise, and they will help others make the transition. The time for which Azeztulite was primarily engineered is fast approaching, and those meant to work with it will be powerfully drawn to it.. 'Humanity has moved from the womb into the birth canal. This is the time of greatest potential and greatest peril. It behooves all who are aware to redouble their efforts to ground Light on this planet so that the transformation may be successful. Do not let appearances push you into fear. Ground the Light, and use this tool, the little stone Azeztulite, to enhance your connection with the Light being sent to you now.''. In any case, Azeztulite is a stone which is clearly attuned to the higher vibrational domains. It fills one's energy body with spiritual Light, and it allows one to be a beacon of that Light in this world. It appears never to need cleansing, and it always radiates a pleasant feeling of joy and confident serenity which seems invulnerable to the turbulence of daily life. It can make one feel like a window through which Light passes from the higher realms.. Affirmation.  I open myself to the frequency of the Nameless Light, and I am willing to be a vehicle through which this energy can spread throughout the world..
