Biotite

Science & Origin

Biotite, first classified in 1847 during the 19th century, is a Potassium Iron Magnesium Aluminum Silicate belonging to the Mica group. It crystallizes in the Monoclinic system and exhibits a perfect basal cleavage that allows it to separate into thin, elastic sheets. Its color ranges from dark brown to black with a vitreous to pearly luster. The mineral structure is composed of stacked silicate sheets bonded by weak ionic layers of Potassium, giving it flexibility and reflective brilliance. Biotite’s composition includes Iron and Magnesium, which create grounding and conductive properties. Its layered lattice symbolizes protection and reflection, both physically and energetically. It represents balance between resilience and adaptability. Biotite is a mirror of self-awareness—revealing hidden truths and guiding grounded understanding.
