Product Description

Introduction

This elegant tower showcases Golden Mica—a mica-group mineral in the phlogopite/muscovite series—renowned for its warm bronze-gold tone and silky internal shimmer. Expert cutting highlights the stone’s layered structure, producing a refined, light-responsive surface that reads both modern and timeless.

Geological Details

Golden Mica belongs to the phyllosilicate class and crystallizes in the monoclinic system. Its signature glow and “moving” sheen (chatoyancy) arise from tightly stacked atomic sheets with perfect basal cleavage. Madagascar hosts notable mica-bearing pegmatites that yield golden to champagne tones with excellent polish integrity—ideal for sculpted towers.

Aesthetic Appeal

Fine, parallel layers create a silky band of light that travels as the tower turns. Color ranges from champagne gold to soft bronze with subtle silver highlights along the edges. The polish is smooth and even, revealing depth without losing the crisp geometry of the cut.

Metaphysical Properties

Golden Mica is associated with calm focus, steady confidence, and harmonized will. Often worked with the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras, it’s used to balance emotions while supporting clear, grounded decision-making—an uplifting yet stabilizing presence.

Rarity

While mica is widespread, golden chatoyant material from Madagascar that can take a high, uniform polish is more selective. Producing taller, cohesive towers requires careful orientation to preserve the layered optics and avoid cleavage loss.

Why You Will Love This

A compact statement piece: luminous, soothing, and versatile. Its refined sheen and balanced proportions suit collector shelves, desks, and meditation spaces alike.

Collector’s Note

Authentic Madagascar Golden Mica (Phlogopite/Muscovite) with strong internal luster and well-preserved layering. A graceful tower that bridges geological interest and elegant design.

Display Recommendations

Place under soft LED or natural daylight to emphasize the traveling light band. Pairs beautifully with clear quartz, smoky quartz, or hematite for contrast and compositional balance.
