Biotite

Science & Origin

Biotite, first discovered in 1847, is a phyllosilicate mineral within the Mica group, known for its dark, metallic appearance and unique ability to reflect light. This mineral is primarily composed of iron, magnesium, and aluminum silicates and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks that typically forms in scales or layers, resembling books or parallel sheets stacked together. It is often found alongside Tourmaline and within potassium Feldspar matrices that can vary from microscopic to several inches in diameter, with its thickness dependent on the natural stacking of its sheets. Revered for its grounding and protective properties, Biotite has long been used in both spiritual and practical applications. Its ability to reflect light and disperse energy makes it an ideal stone for creating a shield of protection around the wearer, while also promoting balance and harmony within the body and mind.
