Aegirine

Q: What is Aegirine made of?

Aegirine has the chemical formula NaFe³⁺Si₂O₆, crystallises in the monoclinic (clinopyroxene) system and measures 5 – 6 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Aegirine is the sodic end-member of the clinopyroxene series, forming in silica-undersaturated alkaline igneous rocks such as nepheline syenites and phonolites. Its steep prismatic habit and high refractive index reflect a densely packed structure dominated by Fe³⁺ in the M1 octahedral site. Type locality: the Rundemyr mine, Norway, 1835.

I. The Metaphysical Reading

How the stone has been held.

Named for Ægir, Norse deity of the sea. Traditional lithotherapy treats aegirine as a discriminating stone - one that helps release outside influence and restores personal integrity to the will. It is often paired with clearer crystals to sharpen intent without introducing new distraction.
