This sphere weighs 332g and has a diameter of 5.5cm.

Probably one of the most commonly confused or incorrectly labeled crystals is Arfvedsonite and Astrophyllite. Seeing these crystals side by side and knowing what colouring to look for will make a huge difference in knowing if you’re looking at Arfvedsonite or Astrophyllite. Having said that I have two sets of spheres that are both technically Astrophyllite with Garnet but their appearance differs greatly.

Let’s compare the two to make identification a little easier. The visually distinguishing feature is the colour of each stone’s shimmer. Astrophyllite always has a copper, reddish-brown, or bronze shimmer, while arfvedsonite has a blue shimmer. At a chemical level, Astrophyllite is a hydrous potassium iron titanium silicate, while arfvedsonite is a sodium amphibole. Lastly, Astrophyllite only ranks at 3 on the Mohs scale, making  it softer than Arfvedsonite.

Astrophyllite: Astrophyllite is always a bronze, reddish brown colour. You will never find it as blue, silver, or yellow like you will with Arfvedsonite. It grows in a Nepheline Syenite matrix, which is typically an off white to gray in colour. Astrophyllite can grow with other stones such as Eudialyte and Aegirine. Astrophyllite has the chemical composition of K2NaFe2+7Ti2Si8O26(OH)4F (Potassium Sodium Iron Manganese Titanium Silicate Hydroxide).

Arfvedsonite: Arfvedsonite colour is bluish-black to black. It has a strong pleochroism (change of color under plane-polarized light) in the colors of blue-greens, yellow-browns, and gray-violets. The dark reddish colour that often grows with Arfvedsonite is Eudialyte (not Garnet). Arfvedsonite can also grow with Aegirine as well as many other minerals. Arfvedsonite has the chemical composition of [Na][Na2][Fe2+4Fe3+]Si8O22(OH)2 (Sodium Iron Magnesium Silicate Hydroxide). It is a basic sodium iron silicate, sometimes with some potassium, magnesium, and fluorine. There are several variations of Arfvedsonite with different elemental substitutions.

Astrophyllite:-

Astrophyllite, also known as Stone of The Self, is filled with a positive energy that is connected to the body. It is a stone of transformation. Astrophyllite allows you to connect with your intuition and can give you the confidence to make changes in your life. It also assists with self-acceptance, and it teaches you to love yourself. Astrophyllite cleanses and balances all of the Chakras. It helps you to see your true potential. It can reveal negative aspects of your personality and give you the strength to change it. Astrophyllite clears the path of what lies in front of you. It can help you get to know yourself emotionally and spiritually.

Garnet:-

Garnet is filled with robust energy that stabilizes and invigorates. It provides a sense of security. Garnet helps to center you, allowing you to overcome feelings of anxiety or fear. It can fortify your courage when you need to overcome problems, and promotes self-confidence. Because of its connection and ability to balance the Root Chakra, Garnet is very grounding and helps to connect you to the present moment. It is associated with the month of January. It is an Earth Element stone, and can aid in feeling secure both mentally and emotionally.

Together they make another potent mix, similar in many ways to Arfvedsonite with Eudialyte, but definitely a different material.

Spheres:-

The sphere is historically perfect and sacred: all points are within the same distance from the centre and thus are a pure expression of unity and integrity. A crystal that is sculptured and polished as a sphere can be a strong energy conductor. Additionally, the sphere is our Earth's perfect form and shape, this form allows the crystal to radiate energy in all directions simultaneously. It is so powerful that it can be used in so many things, such as healing, the attraction of positive energy, as well as opening the 3rd chakra.

Due to the shape and perfect symmetry, the crystal sphere attains powerful energy that can be used in so many things and provides benefits in so many areas. Such as it can clean and heal any leaks in the auric field. Additionally, in times of stress, crystal spheres are excellent as "hand refrigeration devices." and their healing vibration is brought into the auric field that allows the energy fields to shift. Other notable benefits of crystal spheres are meditation, use for home because of its feng shui properties, serving as a decorative piece, and reducing great stress.

Thanks to its perfect symmetry, a crystal sphere releases positive energy in all directions to increase your space and self-resonance. The spherical shape helps also to clean out chaotic environments through the promotion of a flawless energy flow so that you can operate efficiently.

Crystal spheres are versatile, hence, they can be used in so many things. One of its notable uses is a stress reliever. You can relieve exponential tension in your body in times of stress. Your crystal sphere is a site of comfort rolls for certain areas of your body that feel tight, sorrowful, or energetically "blocked," which heals with light and reflexology motion.

In addition, crystal spheres are also used for meditation because it helps in calming your mind and emotion. It is also popular among women living alone, or with their families because they use them as a feng shui because the crystal sphere increases the space's vibration and promotes a happier environment. You can determine the energy you want to bring and schedule your crystal for this purpose.

A crystal sphere can also be used as a decoration because of its unique properties. This will transform your workplace, by putting it into a decorative glass the sphere will be able to promote creativity, increase your chance, bring money to a company or just clean up the room of negativity to create a better environment for the workplace. By doing so, you can place your desk with a crystal sphere and scheme your crystal to "crystal clear concentrate + clarity of mind." Once you have programmed your sphere to support your intention, it keeps you focused so that you can overcome your mental barriers.

Overall, a crystal sphere can be used in so many things, but one thing is for sure - it is a perfect crystal for healing and blocking out the negative energy in your life.
