Break Old Habits, Deepen Your Learning with Azeztulite

Azeztulite (SiO2) is a rare variety of quartz, usually clear or white, that is known in the metaphysical world as a stone of light and communication. People who collect it describe it as a stone of transformation, especially spiritual change. Below are its properties, history and the lore that surrounds it.

The Physical Properties of Azeztulite

Azeztulite is often clear or white, although it can also be yellow, pink, green, or blue-green. It has a unique waxy feel to it and contains microscopic bubbles trapped inside its body. As a quartz crystal, it has a hardness rating of 7 and a glass-like appearance.

Despite being durable, azeztulite is also a brittle mineral. When subjected to impact or pressure, it forms conchoidal fractures. This explains the presence of cracks or grooves on the surface of the crystal.

The History of Azeztulite

Azeztulite was first discovered in North Carolina in 1970. It was found in a depleted beryllium mine and was initially thought of as quartz. The white mineral didn't have a name then until the specimens were sent to Robert Simmons, a crystal enthusiast and owner of Heaven and Earth Minerals and Jewelry.

Upon seeing the crystal in 1991, Simmons described azeztulite as the chunky and clunky-looking variety of quartz. He felt an entirely different sensation upon touching it for the first time.

…it was capable of giving me head-to-toe goose bumps, lighting my upper chakras up like a pinball machine, and touching my heart with a tenderness that brought forth tears. No other quartz I had touched before, or since, could affect me so strongly.

Simmons' friend, psychic Nashia Aihsan, predicted that he would receive a powerful stone that he was to name azeztulite (derived from the spiritual beings called Azez). Nashia said the stone would carry a strong spiritual frequency and that it would be of great use to light workers.

The Lore of Azeztulite

In crystal lore, azeztulite is a stone of resolve and purpose. Followers say it encourages a strong will and a desire to fulfill one's purpose, and people who feel stuck often keep a piece nearby as a reminder of what matters to them.

It is also a stone people collect for its rare, waxy white look, which is distinctive among quartz varieties.

The Metaphysical Properties of Azeztulite

Wearing and meditating with azeztulite has a wide range of benefits, especially in the areas of wealth and relationships.

In crystal lore, azeztulite is linked with opportunity and learning. It is considered a good stone for entrepreneurs as a symbol of continuing to learn, achieve and succeed. Some people use it as a focus when they want clarity about their life's purpose, or when they feel uncertain about career, vocation or relationships.

In the love and romance department, azeztulite is traditionally linked with letting go of old mindsets and patterns, and with opening the heart after past relationships.

In lore, azeztulite is also said to help people feel closer to others and to their spirit guides.

Azeztulite is described in crystal lore as a stone with an intense, strong-energy character, so some practitioners suggest that newcomers begin with short sessions.

Many people sit quietly with the crystal daily as part of a meditation habit, and they pair azeztulite with other favourites such as clear quartz, kyanite, moldavite, and tanzanite. You can also browse moldavite and kyanite pieces if you are building a display.
