Since I was a child, my family has always tried to make everyone in the house own an azabache stone. It is very cheap, compared to other stones, but its use has such a high value that makes its cost unfair.

I remember seeing people putting these stones knotted on a red ribbon to little babies, to protect them against “evil eye”.

Therefore, it is very interesting to study it, because it is a semi-precious stone, formed millions of years ago, belonging to the carbon family. It is actually a variety of it.

It is black, has a bright color in some cases, is not as strong as other semiprecious stones, and barely reaches 2.35 on the Mohs scale. It is ultimately fragile, so it is used a lot in handicrafts worldwide, due to its ease of use to sculpt.

It has been used by different cultures at different times. The best azabache in the world is found in Spain, specifically in the region of Asturias. The intensity of its color and texture makes a considerable difference to the others in other parts of the world.

This beautiful black stone is known to be used in spells of high energy content. They are also used as a protection from spells. They protect against enemies, envy, and practices of black magic.

The azabache helps by leaving behind the problems from the past that still haunt you, those that stop you from renewing your spirit.

Jewelry has known how to use it very well, we can see it even in buttons. They are common in necklaces, pendants of different types and sizes, earrings, bracelets, home decorations, among many others.

As for the medical field, they produce great benefits to arthritis, backbone inflammations, colds, asthma, bronchitis, among others.

But how can we use them?

Prevention is best, so get used to using this stone. It should not be anything too big, it can be small, it will be enough. Attach it to a red ribbon and place it on your wrist or ankle, and it will be a great protector to your plans and projects, but especially for your health. Do this with your children and avoid heavy eyes that can cause discomfort. Remember that we all have energy, and sometimes we can be affected by those emanating negativity.

For healing your backbone, lay down and place a large azabache stone at the end of the spine for a few minutes, and healing will slowly come to you.

It is also advisable to combine it with amber, a beautiful and also very healing stone that together with azabache, creates an energy circuit that is able to ease any discomfort.

This is not the type of semi-precious stone that we see in fashion, on the red carpet, or on the crowns of royalty; it is a stone that, with composure, has entered our houses and become the guardian of our homes.
