Astrophyllite
is Potassium Sodium Iron Manganese Titanium Silicate Hydroxide, (K,Na)3(Fe,Mn)7Ti2(SiO3)8(O,OH)7. Hardness is 3.

The general formula for most of the garnets is A₃B₂(SiO₄)₃. The A represents divalent metals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and/or manganese. The B represents trivalent metals such as aluminum, chromium, iron and/or manganese and in the rarer garnets; vanadium, titanium, zirconium and/or silicon. The general formula for a couple of rarer garnets (hibschite and katoite) is A₃B₂(SiO₄)_3-X(OH)_4X. The main differences in physical properties among the members of the garnet group are slight variations in color, density and index of refraction. Hardness is 7.

Stone Lore

Garnet – is a stone of health and commitment. It provides for a balanced energy field around the body, calming stable vitality, reflecting attributes of devotion. It also warms, energizes emotionally & physically (arthritis, frostbite, paralysis), grounds. Used by ancient cultures for exhaustion, low blood pressure, detoxing & strengthening blood, muscles, kidneys, gallstones.

Astrophyllite – It is said that astrophyllite can help
to bring life to hidden forces and show you that as one door closes another one
opens. It can also assist in absolving one from responsibility and in purging from one’s life that which should be eliminated such that one can continue to both develop and to progress. Also aids in astral travel and seeing
yourself from the outside and of producing the recognition of one’s inherent self-esteem.

Typically items will be shipped out within one day of payment. I checked 3 days handling time because on occasion we may be out of town for a day or two. Also please note that handling time is not the same as arrival time. We will ordinarily ship USPS First-Class Parcel which is described by USPS as typically 2-3 day delivery time but it’s not guaranteed. We have found this to be fairly accurate and quite often it shows up the next day. We reserve the right to use other shipping methods or other carriers if it’s more appropriate.
