Price: $15-$150 per stone

Astrophyllite's unique appearance is due the complicated chemical composition with a makeup of potassium, sodium titanium, iron and manganese. Translated from the original Greek words astron for "star" and phyllon meaning "leaf", Astrophyllite displays a subtle enticing golden yellow to brown metal sheen from different angles. This is a wonderful cabochon for someone looking for something different. Matched pairs and suites available. (Return to Top)

The color on these Pyrite Drusy cabs is 100% natural. Most of the spectacularly bright colors you see on gemstones are the result of a very thin layer or coating of titanium. These cabs were hand picked for the bright gold in the pyrite and the almost iridescent rainbow colors. (Return to Top)
