The name astrophyllite is derived from Greek words of ‘star’ and ‘leaf’. The stone is likened to a shining light that illuminates your mind, allowing you to see your true self and recognizing your purpose in life. When one observes their true identity, they learn to accept themselves and this allows them to move forward on their life journey. This stone is perfect for those that feel ‘stuck’ or in a slump, without seeing a path forward towards self betterment. This stone shows you what you need to improve with respect to yourself.
For those that are regularly upset with themselves, the process of being above to see yourself will bring you towards acceptance, and the end of self-destructive behavior. It will also show you what recurring behaviors in your life are holding you back. This is the first step to letting go of those behaviors, leading to a happier and healthier life.
