Belonging to the astrophyllite group, astrophyllite may be classed either as an inosilicate, phyllosilicate, or an intermediate between the two. It forms an isomorphous series with kupletskite, to which it is visually identical & often intimately associated. Astrophyllite is of interest primarily to scientists & collectors. Heavy, soft & fragile, astrophyllite typically forms as bladed, radiating stellate aggregates. It is this crystal habit that gives astrophyllite its name, from the Greek words astron meaning "star" & phyllon meaning "leaf". Its great submetallic gleam & darkness contrast sharply with the light (felsic) matrix the mineral is regularly found within. Astrophyllite is usually opaque to translucent, but may be transparent in thin specimens. As the crystals themselves possess perfect cleavage, they are typically left in situ, the entire aggregate often cut into slabs & polished. Owing to its limited availability & high cost, astrophyllite is seldom seen in an ornamental capacity. It is sometimes used in jewellery where it is fashioned into cabochons. Found in cavities & fissures in unusual felsic igneous rocks, astrophyllite is associated with feldspar, mica, titanite, zircon, nepheline, & aegirine. Common impurities include magnesium, aluminium, calcium, zirconium, niobium, & tantalum. It was first discovered in 1854 at its type locality; Laven Island, Norway. Kupletskite was not known until 1956, over a hundred years later. Astrophyllite is found in a few scarce, remote localities: Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada; Pikes Peak, Colorado, US; Narsarsuk & Kangerdluarsuk, Greenland; Brevig, Norway; & the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Astrophyllite is an energetically potent stone that infuses your entire system with light.
