The deepest blues of the darkest summer skies once revealed the mysteries and depths of the heavens to the naked eye. Azurite, the Chinese “Stone of the Heavens,” reveals what progressing civilizations have hidden from us: the very essence of blue – the literal definition of azure - is displayed in this captivating stone. Azurite reflects one’s character and life changes as it ‘ages’ with its owner; the deepest blues of yesterday’s youth slowly lightening and greening through time to malachite. Store this stone in cool darkness with limited air circulation, such as a jewelry box.
