Rare Fibrous Golden Astrophyllite from Russia XX011
Astral, Acceptance, Perception
A very rare mineral that captures the golden rays of the sun and the brilliance of a shining star, Astrophyllite hails from the deep mountains of Russia. Recognizable by its bronzey-gold blades that radiates outwards in starburst sprays, Astrophyllite is found in tragically few locations worldwide.
More often found as inclusions in different matrix, commonly Feldspar, Albite or Aegirine as chaotic, rain-like or radiating aggregates; Here it is presented as free growth Astrophyllite "stars" perched on Feldspar matrix. Aesthetic fur-like stars can easily be confused with free growth rutile.
This is the RAREST form of Astrophyllite to date, and comes from an isolated mining haul in 2021.
Getting its name from the Greek words for “Star” and “Leaf”, Astrophyllite, as its name suggest, has been called a “Gateway to the Stars”, as it aids in accessing higher states of consciousness. Able to expose the many layers of reality, Astrophyllite pushes beyond the paradigm of our physical being by expanding our spiritual perception of all things, even onto astral travelling.
One of the few stones able to activate all Chakras, it is a stone of acceptance, fullness, and transcendence. This also allows one to sense the needs of others, and reveals that which is hidden within.
