Arfvedsonite is often called Astrophyllite when I see it for sale at the gem shows. There is at least one wholesaler out there who keeps calling Arfvedsonite Astrophyllite. When you see rough Astrophyllite, you see that it has radial crystals (the shape of the Sun) that are Copper or Bronze colored. Arfvedsonite, on the other hand, has gold and/or blue streaks of flashing. It can be gray matrix or black, but the flashing is always the same.
Astrophyllite helps you recognize the self-esteem that your soul has. The self-esteem of our soul never changes and is there for you to access as you develop spiritually.
Titanium Crystals have come to the forefront the last few months, and they are quite important right now. Some of them are Astrophyllite, Benitoite (beautiful blue), Sphene, and Bastnaesite.
From Siri - Here you go again...Titanium...really important right now as they are showing up everywhere. Awesome energy here--good earthy connection with an energy inclusion that is extremely high. Uncommon--connected to the earth and shoots all the way through the Crown Chakra...good good and very healing energy. Love it for the bladder--good physical healer but a whole lot more. These crystals have really strong and balanced energy, not hot. Most reds are hot, but the Titanium cools. This is such a feeding energy...allows you to draw energy from the earth...the very strongest of Morion Quartz does that, too. They are completely connected to the earth energy. These crystals are great for panic attacks--go figure, a red energy.
