Garnet in Astrophyllite tower

Astrophyllite is a complex mineral with a unique crystal structure. It typically forms in cavities within igneous rocks, and its lustrous, bronze-colored crystals exhibit a radiating starburst pattern that adds to its celestial allure. Garnet, a silicate mineral with a rich spectrum of colors, often occurs alongside astrophyllite. The combination of these two minerals results in a gemstone that showcases the deep, warm hues of garnet complemented by the intricate star-like inclusions of astrophyllite. Towers measure approx. 3.5" tall
