About this stone

A powerful dark green to black crystal of personal integrity and protection. Aegirine removes negative attachments, boosts the immune system, and builds confidence. It supports those who feel drained by others' energy.

Geology · Formation

How it forms: Crystallizes in rare, alkaline magmas.

Crystallizes in rare, alkaline-rich magmas (like nepheline syenites) that are low in silica. High concentrations of sodium and iron in the cooling magma chamber allow these long, dark needles to form. The Result: Sharp, jet-black to dark green prismatic crystals that often terminate in a distinct point.
