Product Description
Introduction
Graceful and radiant, GM-05 showcases the luminous beauty of Golden Mica—a phlogopite/muscovite mica distinguished by its silky, layered shimmer. This tower’s elongated form and champagne-to-bronze tones create an elegant presence that feels both natural and sculpted.
Geological Details
Golden Mica is a member of the phyllosilicate class and crystallizes in the monoclinic system. It forms in pegmatitic environments where aluminum, potassium, and iron combine to produce its characteristic golden hue. The internal chatoyancy results from perfect basal cleavage that reflects light across countless parallel sheets. Madagascar’s deposits yield exceptional golden phlogopite capable of taking a precise, durable polish.
Aesthetic Appeal
GM-05’s tall symmetry accentuates its vertical fiber alignment, causing a soft ribbon of light to move with rotation. The polish reveals fine internal depth, shifting from pale gold highlights to deeper bronze bases. Each surface gleams smoothly while preserving the stone’s organic mica texture.
Metaphysical Properties
Golden Mica is linked to clarity, discipline, and optimism. It activates the Solar Plexus Chakra, encouraging balanced determination and self-confidence. The layered formation mirrors emotional integration—each sheet supporting calm strength beneath radiant energy.
Rarity
Tall, cohesive Golden Mica towers are uncommon because mica’s perfect cleavage makes large carvings delicate to cut and finish. GM-05 demonstrates superb craftsmanship and material stability from base to termination.
