This stunning Aegirine on Microcline crystal, with Quartz and Limonite, is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection!

Aegirine, also known as acmite, is a rare and stunning black mineral. It is found in many locations around the world, but its most prized specimens come from Mount Malosa in Malawi, where it is often found in association with Microcline.

Aegirine is usually black, greenish-black, or brownish-black in color and has a glassy or vitreous luster. It has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is relatively hard and durable. Aegirine is also known for its straight, needle-like crystals that can grow up to several centimeters in length.  

Microcline, a member of the feldspar mineral family, is known for its beautiful color variations and distinctive twinning patterns. When paired with Aegirine, the result is a striking and eye-catching contrast of colors.

Aegirine is believed to have properties associated with protection, energy balancing, and spiritual growth. Microcline, being a feldspar, is often linked to creativity and intuition. The combination of these minerals is thought to enhance their individual metaphysical properties
