Product Description
Introduction
GM-07 stands as the statement piece of this collection—an elegant, commanding tower of Golden Mica from Madagascar. Exhibiting graceful geometry, soft internal luminosity, and layered optical depth, this phlogopite/muscovite specimen radiates warmth and quiet strength. Each rotation reveals a living sheen that moves like liquid light across its surface.
Geological Details
Golden Mica belongs to the phyllosilicate group and crystallizes in the monoclinic system. It forms thin sheets with perfect basal cleavage, each reflecting light in fine golden ribbons that create its signature chatoyancy. Madagascar’s pegmatitic deposits yield particularly dense, stable golden phlogopite, allowing this tall structure to maintain both polish and clarity without flaking.
Aesthetic Appeal
GM-07’s vertical alignment enhances its natural brilliance. Rich bronze undertones deepen near the base, gradually shifting to champagne-gold highlights at the tip. The mirrorlike polish reveals depth and internal texture, while crisp angles give the piece an architectural, sculptural presence. When illuminated, the tower seems to glow from within—an embodiment of refined mineral artistry.
Metaphysical Properties
Golden Mica embodies empowerment through stability. It is associated with the Solar Plexus and Heart Chakras, promoting personal confidence anchored in compassion. The stone’s layered structure symbolizes resilience and balance—helping the mind remain steady while the spirit shines. Its golden tone carries warmth, optimism, and strength of purpose.
Rarity
Golden Mica towers exceeding 13 cm are exceptionally rare due to the mineral’s delicate cleavage. GM-07 is a high-grade example of Madagascar phlogopite, cut with precision to preserve structural integrity and optical brilliance throughout its height.
Why You Will Love This
A luminous centerpiece—majestic yet calming. GM-07 captures the artistry of polished mica while maintaining the mineral’s natural beauty, making it ideal for both collectors and interior display.
