The mineral world does not recognise this stone as a mineral in itself, as it is Quartz. They believe that some sellers are ripping people off by selling ‘normal’ quartz as Azeztulite at extremely high prices. Some people in the healing world believe this type of Quartz has different properties from the usual Quartz you find and believe that it has a faster energy – I found myself a very small piece for a very small amount and do think this little piece seems to have a little extra magic within it, but I do worry about people being ripped off and am not comfortable with crystals being ‘owned’ or charged extra for just because they’re given some fancy name. Quartz is beautiful, whatever name is given to it, whether it’s a £1 point or a £100 Azeztulite. The best thing to do with situations like this is, get yourself a small piece at a small rate and try it out – meditate with it and see if you feel any difference.
