Astrophyllite is a rare formation of titanium silicate. Its name comes from a Greek word meaning “star leaf” because that is what the formation looks like! The “Spears” inside the stone are created by a supernova of mineral, radiating out of a single point like a star. This stone will turn your life around, literally. Unless you don’t want a positive life altering change in your sense of direction, don’t use astrophyllite. This stone bursts with positive energy, transforming confusion and feelings of being lost into a sense of purpose, understanding and confidence. Because it is a dark stone, astrophyllite is also highly protective, specifically for people with psychic abilities (including empaths, sensitives, light workers, etc) much like the evil eye, it makes sure no negative people or entities enter your field of energy.

Today’s specimen is a composite of opaque black and translucent brown with like iridescent black shards that flash blue in the light. They remind me of tourmaline but flash like labradorite. There are also small copper/gold specks all over.

This is a learning moment. I thought that this was astrophyllite. Doing some research, I found out that astrophyllite is often mislabeled nuummite or arfvedsonite. After reading about the differences and comparing the internal structures in photos, I have concluded that I own an arfvedsonite tower. I’m keeping a paragraph that I already wrote about about astrophyllite because why not? I’ll link to the comparison in the comments.

Arfvedsonite is associated with Gemini and the throat and crown chakras. It was discovered by Johan August Arfwedson, who also discovered lithium. Arfvedsonite breaks up energy blockages and promotes the flow of energy. It gives us the courage to be proactive in tasks that are placed on us. It also helps internalize your emotions while you need to be strong for others and then release them once you are in a safe space.

When Arfvedsonite opens the throat chakra, it allows feelings and emotions to flow freely. This is a great stone for self healing and peace of mind. It’s calming energy reminds us to live in the present. It helps with compassion, empathy, emotional understanding and coping with PTSD. This stone helps find opportunities and new beginnings to open up the path to your life purpose and form a clear vision of what you want in life.

Arfvedsonite also promotes mental enhancement and spiritual awakening. It brings psychic visions that provide warnings to help you navigate your journey.

Astrophyllite is associated with Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn and the crown chakra. The name comes from the Greek woirds “astron” - star and “phyllon” - leaf. It is a great companion for astral travel, enhances intuition and raises vibrations, aids in meditation, eases anxiety and helps with coping with change.

Let's remember a model launched during a period when our space was almost unimaginable.

Sputnik 1 was launched on 4th october 1957. spherical metal with 58 cm (23 inches) in diameter with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. Its radio signal was easily detectable by radio and the 65° inclination and duration of its orbit made its flight path cover virtually the entire inhabited Earth.

The density of the upper atmosphere could be deduced from its drag on the orbit, and the propagation of its radio signals gave data about the ionosphere

We could test satellite pressurisation, to study radio wave transmission and the density of the atmosphere, and allowed scientists to learn how to track objects in orbit. It orbited Earth every 96 minutes. Also gave rise to space race and cold war.

The signals continued for 21 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 October 1957. Sputnik burned up on 4 January 1958.

On Friday, 4 October 1957, the Soviets had orbited the world's first artificial satellite. Anyone who doubted its existence could walk into the backyard just after sunset and see it.
