Astrophyllite

Astrophyllite is a titanium silicate mineral that forms in starry sprays of thin, bronze and gold blades with a metallic shine. Its name comes from the Greek for star and leaf, which describes it well: held to the light, the blades glint like a scatter of stars across the stone.

Astrophyllite meaning

In crystal tradition, astrophyllite is a stone of insight and purpose, said to help you see your path more clearly and to notice what you are being drawn towards. It is linked with the third eye and crown chakras and is often kept close during dream work and meditation.

How to use astrophyllite

Place a piece by your bed for dream work, hold it during meditation, or keep it on your altar at the new moon when you are setting intentions for the cycle ahead. It pairs beautifully with labradorite, another stone of inner sight.

Caring for astrophyllite

Astrophyllite is soft and its blades can flake, so handle it gently, keep it away from water, and cleanse it with sound or moonlight. See our gold astrophyllite tower and more crystal towers.
