Astrophyllite is very rare stone the forms golden blades that radiate outwards like a star. Its name comes from the Greek astron meaning star and phyllon meaning leaf. It is a popular stone for collectors and it's metaphysical meaning and healing properties make is highly desirable for spiritual purposes. 

Astrophyllite was first found in 1844 by the Norwegian mineralogist Paul Christian Weibye. He described it as brown glimmer or brauner glimmer. Ten years later, it was named Astrophyllite by Carl Johan August Theodor Scheerer who described its properties.

Astrophyllite is found in relatively few locations compared to other minerals. It forms in fissures or cracks in the earth.
