Fighting the patriarchy gets exhausting.  If you don’t have time for an actual tropical vacay, meditating with indigo blue Azurite can have the same mind refreshing effect as staring at the azure sky or sapphire Mediterranean Sea for hours (with or without an umbrella drink). 

Take a break from choppy thoughts and let Azurite break through the surface to shine a light into the depths of your mind and the truth of the situation.  Azurite is your ally against worry, indecision and material desires.  It can be peaceful down there below the waves.
