Astrophyllite Tower w. Blue fireworks

Astrophyllite is a rare and radiant stone known for its shimmering starburst inclusions and deeply transformative energy. The name comes from the Greek words “astron” (star) and “phyllon” (leaf), referring to its metallic, leaf-like crystal structures that often radiate outward like a star.

 Appearance

Astrophyllite is typically found in matrix stones (such as granite or feldspar) and displays radiating, metallic blades or needles of coppery bronze or golden color. When polished, it creates a stunning reflective effect, often appearing like a celestial burst or star explosion—hence its name.
