It carries a store vibration that dissolves limited concepts. It works directly on the mental body to break up thought forms which are, essentially, patterns of limitations. Azurite often occurs together with malachite in or near copper deposits. As a copper ore, it is considered a conductor and is said to break old patterns that often limit us. When the two are combined, the malachite moves through the azurite to catalyze pattern shifts and transmit awareness of these changes to physical consciousness, causing acknowledgement of these changes to be almost immediate.
