Astrophyllite

The Stone of Illumination, Transformation, and Divine Awareness

Science & Origin

Astrophyllite, first classified in 1854 during the 19th century, is a rare Potassium Iron Titanium Silicate mineral that crystallizes in the Triclinic system. It forms radiating, bladed crystals that exhibit a metallic bronze to golden-brown luster. Its name derives from the Greek words astron (star) and phyllon (leaf), referring to its star-like sprays of crystal growth. The mineral’s reflective metallic sheen results from Titanium and Iron in its lattice. Astrophyllite commonly occurs in alkali-rich igneous environments and often grows within matrix minerals such as Microcline or Aegirine. Its radiating symmetry represents the expanding illumination of consciousness. The interwoven crystal blades symbolize unity and multidimensional growth. Astrophyllite embodies inner awakening, transformation, and divine guidance expressed through awareness of truth and light.
