Ajoite is a rare mineral and is almost always found within quartz. Although name initially after Ajo, Arizona where it was first discovered, most Ajoite is from the Messina mine in South Africa, which is now closed. This source had the most beautiful specimens and at the time, the most plentiful. Any ajoite now on the market are from old miner stockpiles that have been released to the public. Ajoite has such a luminous blue-green color, often swirled with reds of hematite too. It has an emotionally soothing energy. Working with ajoite releases old grief, anger and pain and it is not unusual to experience tears as well as laughter. Ajoite awakens your compassion, both for yourself and for others. Ajoite heals the healer, and is highly nurturing. It makes me think of floating in a warm pool of salt or mineral water, perfectly supported and totally at ease. It is also believed to transmute negative energy into positive energy.

One can truly visualize the cool ocean waters lapping over-top of the sand with this piece.  A long slender formation that sits atop a partially polished matrix of quartz. The color is a lovely shade of sea-green with a generous realm of red hematite. This beauty will assist with feelings of compassion and forgiveness for oneself and others by stimulating the release of old emotional patterns and lessons. Key elements for healing conflicts that exist on all levels of human life. It has a very nurturing energy and will be the inspiration of inner visions of truth.

Ajoite produces a melding between the heart chakra and the throat chakra and facilitates speaking that which is in one's heart. Ajoite can be used to eliminate hostility- it is quite difficult for one to remain hostile toward oneself; in addition, and following the same logic, Ajoite can also be used to eliminate anger, abrasiveness, jealousy, prejudice....and all of the negative attributes one could imagine.

It is a strengthener, healer and harmonizer of the emotional body. It has very sweet vibrations not only to soothe us; they also draw out the poison of one’s subconsciously held sorrows, fears, rage and old wounds. Meditation with Ajoite can bring both tears and laughter as feelings arise in what is often a deep yet gentle release of inner tensions. It can awaken feelings of forgiveness and compassion- for oneself as well as others which is key in the healing process on all levels.
