{"product_id":"close-out-sphere-golden-mica-from-brazil-2-3","title":"Golden Mica Sphere - 2.75-2.75 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Golden Mica Sphere is a fully polished orb of golden-brown muscovite mica, lit by the pearly, shimmering lustre the mica structure gives the stone. Layers of fine reflective mica catch the light across the surface in warm gold and brown tones, and the polish makes it smooth to hold, though the layered mica gives it a soft, almost silken surface character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuscovite is traditionally associated with intuition, mental clarity and reflection, and its bright, mirror-like sheen is often linked to self-insight. People keep a Sphere like this on a desk or shelf, hold it during reflection, or add it to a collection for its unusual golden shimmer. The sphere form is favoured for radiating its qualities evenly in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a natural stone, the depth of the gold and the play of the mica sheen differ from one Sphere to the next, so the piece you receive will be its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Intuition \u0026amp; Spiritual Awareness\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Crown, Third Eye\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Leo, Aquarius\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Horse\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Venus\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Air, Earth\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 2-2.5\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Phyllosilicate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Natural Golden Mica (Muscovite)\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 70-72 mm (2.7-2.8 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 492-529 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGolden Mica is a golden-toned variety of muscovite, the most common mica mineral, a potassium aluminium silicate crystallising in the monoclinic system at a very soft Mohs hardness of 2 to 2.5. It forms as thin, flexible sheets with a distinctive pearly lustre, here in warm gold and brown. Its name derives from \"Muscovy glass,\" the historical use of thin muscovite sheets as window panes in Russia before glass was widely available, when it was a significant trade commodity. This material is sourced from Brazil, with further deposits in India, Russia, the United States and Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.

Handle it gently, keep it well away from harder stones, and avoid water and abrasive cleaning so the polished surface and layers stay intact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuturaSol","offers":[{"title":"70 mm - 492 g","offer_id":47441036181734,"sku":"50285-AS-OFF-G3-492G","price":189.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"72 mm - 529 g","offer_id":47441036214502,"sku":"50285-AS-OFF-G3-529G","price":192.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/7200\/5350\/files\/50825-1.png?v=1782701517","url":"https:\/\/auturasol.com\/products\/close-out-sphere-golden-mica-from-brazil-2-3","provider":"AuturaSol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
