“What lies behind us and
what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.”

AJOITE
Scientific Properties: Ajoite is an attractive copper silicate mineral that is named for its type locality in the Ajo District of Pima County, Arizona. It is a secondary mineral that forms from the oxidation of other secondary copper minerals. Ajoite forms excellent microcrystal specimens. The small prismatic crystals are often arranged in tufts with an almost aquamarine-like blue green color. It is associated with other rare and colorful minerals such as shattuckite, copper, papagoite and plancheite; which makes specimens even more attractive. The color variety in a single multi-mineral specimen is sometimes surreal. Massive samples of ajoite are also unique and are sometimes carved or tumbled and can be used as an ornamental stone. Ajoite’s classification as a phyllosilicate is questionable as its true structure is as yet unknown. More Facts

It is excellent for meditation, and can remove and release negative energies from the physical, emotional, and ethereal bodies. It acts as a stone of transformation, bringing change and growth in a spirit of love. More Properties
