It often forms in radiating, star-like blades that resemble metallic leaves spreading outward through its host rock. This star-leaf structure, combined with its deep, submetallic luster, creates a striking contrast against the typically lighter matrix it grows within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1188\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1188\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1188\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eMINERAL TYPE: \u003c\/strong\u003eAstrophyllite\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI): \u003c\/strong\u003e1.68–1.72 (approximate)\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOLOR: \u003c\/strong\u003eBronze to golden brown with metallic luster\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCLARITY \u0026amp; TRANSPARENCY: \u003c\/strong\u003eOpaque\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT: \u003c\/strong\u003e25.63 grams\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSIZE: \u003c\/strong\u003e45.3 x 38.8 x 16.2 mm\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eORIGIN: \u003c\/strong\u003eEveslogchorr Mountain, Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTREATMENT: \u003c\/strong\u003eNone (natural)\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0–4.0 (Mohs scale)\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM: \u003c\/strong\u003eTriclinic\u003cstrong data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION: \u003c\/strong\u003e(K,Na)₃(Fe²⁺,Mn)₇Ti₂Si₈O₂₄(O,OH)₇\u003cstrong data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"2014\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1188\" class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2902\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2436\"\u003eMETAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2436\" data-end=\"2439\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2439\" data-end=\"2451\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1738\" data-start=\"1382\"\u003eAstrophyllite is known as a stone of cosmic alignment and self-illumination.
