This is an extremely rare quality of Astrophyllite and we rarely lay our hands on it. the golden needles are secure and it is a durable piece.
Astrophyllite is a very rare, brown to golden-yellow hydrous potassium iron titanium silicate mineral. Astrophyllite typically forms as bladed, radiating stellate aggregates. The name Astrophyllite is from Greek words astron meaning “star” and phyllon meaning “leaf”. Owing to its limited availability and high cost, astrophyllite is seldom seen in an ornamental capacity. It is sometimes used in jewellery where it is fashioned into cabochons. Found in cavities and fissures in unusual felsic igneous rocks, astrophyllite is associated with feldspar, mica, titanite, zircon,nepheline, and aegirine. Common impurities include magnesium, aluminium, calcium, zirconium, niobium, and tantalum. It was first discovered in 1854 at its type locality; Laven Island, Norway. Astrophyllite is found in a few scarce, remote localities: Mont-Saint-hilaire, Quebec, Canada; PikesPeak, Colorado, USA;Narsarsuk and Kangerdluarsuk, Greenland; Brevig, Norway; and the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Healing Properties Transformation, life change, major life change, protection, physic protection, third eye chakra, alcoholism, drug addition, anti-smoking, change bad paterns of behaviour, self love, self forgiveness, fidelity ,truth, honesty.
