Description from the seller
This rare natural Astrophyllit sphere immediately captivates the viewer – a fascinating interplay of dark, cosmic-like structures and shimmering metallic inclusions that resemble shooting stars within a night sky. Every angle reveals new details: radiating crystalline lamellae, shimmering blue hues, and mysterious bronze reflections that seem to float inside.
Astrophyllite is among the rarest minerals worldwide, and in spherical form, it becomes an energetic center full of power and elegance. Its intricate pattern resembles galactic nebulae, while the natural texture exudes an almost otherworldly beauty. This sphere is not just a collector's item – it is a statement piece that connects stories of deep earth and infinite cosmos.
An extraordinary highlight for any crystal collection, for lovers of rare minerals, or as an energetic focal point in living and working spaces.
