Ajoite

Ajoite is a copper silicate mineral, that occurs usually in Quartz. First discovered in Arizona by the Papago Indians, this highly prized crystal was valued as a bringer of peace and purity. In 1947 a deposit had been found at the Messina mine in South Africa, but it was not correctly identified until 1960 as Ajoite. The last discovery of Ajoite at the Messina mine was made in 1991 and now due to dangerous conditions in the mine, the mine is closed. To date there are no known new sources of this precious crystal and none likely to come onto the market.
Here is what the Crystal Oversoul Attunement cards say about Ajoite "We are vast beings of light that incarnate in part in human form. We have traveled many lifetimes and have experienced a multitude of experiences to be here at this time in the turning of human history. A new cycle has begun and each of us is here to help the earth’s transition into a new dimension.
Ajoite’s colouring and character reminds us of our ancient Lemurian light. For some, this is a painful memory as in subsequent lives after Lemuria this light was misunderstood and many were persecuted. This burdened memory has led to a reluctance to take on positions of power or responsibility.
By working with this crystal fears that inhibit the expression of our light in the world are finally healed. Our light can radiate again without attracting negative attention"

Meditating with Ajoite by Michael Eastwood

Ajoite is one of the most precious crystals to work with. It has made its presence felt more fully because it is here to assist in our journey towards wholeness and discovery. Ajoite has a unique auric presence. When we enter into its presence though meditation or inner-journeying we will receive awakenings in parts of our auric field that have remained unconscious for thousands of years. Ajoite’s subject is to activate energy that which was invisible thus making it more visible or conscious. We can understand this as stimulating ancient memories that will be useful for us to integrate in the here and now. Ajoite’s key function is to activate the eighth chakra, restoring this chakra to its rightful place in our anatomic system. It enables us to build upon the inner work that has already been achieved into a greater understanding of why we have chosen to be here at this time in human evolution.
To begin with make sure you are comfortable and will not be disturbed. Hold your Ajoite between your hands, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and absorb its turquoise light. You will be making an inner journey that will require you to be calm and relaxed. Breathe deeply, letting go at a deep level. Energy flows more freely when we are relaxed.
Place your attention just above your crown chakra - at your eighth chakra. Take a moment to breathe into this position feeling yourself relaxed and calm on a deep level of your being. As you relax, feel yourself release any tension in your body. Using your breath, take yourself deeper and deeper within.
While in this deep calm space raise your Ajoite (while still between both hands) up until the crystal touches and aligns with your eighth chakra. As your Ajoite comes into contact with your eighth chakra a remarkable alignment will take place. You will see your eighth chakra expand and open itself as contact is made between itself and your Ajoite. Hold and be with this experience letting yourself relax even further.
You are now in a sacred, empowered position, known to our ancient ancestors as the mudra of celestial awakening.
As you sit in this position feel the light of your being radiate throughout your consciousness permeating and releasing your energy system.
