Azurite is the only crystal that really embodies the pure blue ray. The rich brightness of its dark-blue energy vibrates to the precise frequency of the Third-Eye Chakra, and it has guided souls to enlightenment since the dawn of civilization. Azurite was a very strong psychic stone veiled in mystery to the residents of Atlantis and the early Egyptians; its secrets are known only to the greatest priests and priestesses. The ancient Chinese dubbed it the Stone of Heaven because they thought it opened celestial doorways, while the Greeks and Romans adored it for its visionary insights and healing qualities....
Since the beginning of human history, lapis lazuli has been one of the most sought-after gemstones. Its rich, heavenly blue continues to be a representation of majesty and honor, deities and strength, spirit, and vision. It represents wisdom and truth. Lapis lazuli was highly prized in ancient times for its exquisite hue and the priceless ultramarine dye it yielded.

This makes the rose family tree the type of flowering plant with the most different kinds. Rose cultivation most likely began some 5000 years ago in Asia. They have been a part of the human experience since then, and references to the flower may be found in many ancient tales. And there are so many great stories about roses throughout history that we can all recognize. The rose was named after Aphrodite...
THE FEAR OF CRITICISM It is difficult, if not impossible, to identify how man gained this basic dread, but one thing is certain: he has it in a well-developed form. Some believe that this fear first appeared in man’s consciousness around the time that politics emerged. Others say it can be dated back to the inaugural gathering of a female organization known as a “Woman’s Club.” Another school of humorists attributes the origin to the contents of the Holy Bible, whose chapters are rife with scathing and harsh criticism. If the latter claim is right and people who take literally...
