COLORS AND VARIETIES

The color of aegirine depends on the chemical composition and the crystal structure in each individual stone. Finely needle-like aegirine will therefore be light green, yellow-green, or colorless, while obelisk-shaped aegirine will be dark green, black, brown, or brown. Transparent crystals are very rare.

An interesting property of aegirine is that if you rotate it along different axes while examining the stone, it changes color:

• Axis Ng. The color changes from blue to bright blue and blue.
• Axis Nm. The purple color changes to lavender and blue.
• Axis Np. Colorless, red, dark crimson, orange, and pink.

When observed under a microscope, the mineral may appear violet, orange-brown, pink, violet-blue, and dark brown. This property is associated with the refraction of light on many small crystal faces that make up the mineral aegirine. And also from the proportions of metals in its composition; for example, an excess of manganese gives red-violet shades, and iron gives reddish-brown. But at the same time, all the minerals have a vitreous luster and a silky lu

SITE

The largest deposits of the stone: Nigeria, Scotland, Canada, USA, Greenland, the Kola Peninsula, the Cherry Mountains in the Urals, DPRK. The mining of collectible aegirine crystals takes place in Malawi in the eastern region of Africa.

HISTORY AND TRADITION

The history of the mineral begins in 1821, when the first deposit was discovered in southern Norway, near the town of Kongsberg. In the same year, the stone was first examined by the Swedish scientist J. Berzelius. The name “aegirine” itself was assigned to the stone 14 years later – in 1835. This was done by the mineralogist J. Esmark, which was named in honor of the god of the sea from Germanic-Scandinavian myths. Until 1835, the stone was called “akmite,” which means “point” in Greek.

The origin of aegirine is often volcanic. It forms in the bowels of the earth and eventually reaches the earth's surface everywhere. It is quarried from acidic and alkaline igneous rocks, with the stones mostly being of medium size.

• The mineral, in the form of a columnar crystal up to 20 centimeters tall, is often found in Malawi on the Malosa Plateau. Such samples resemble well-sharpened pencils. Particularly valuable are those that grew together with orthoclase or white quartz.
• The largest crystals (up to 30 centimeters tall) are found in Madagascar (Toliara Province) and Norway (Buskerud County).
• Aegirine is a very fragile mineral, so it needs to be handled with care.
• The mineral is usually stored in a soft container: a bag or a box.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

The solid mineral aegirine is smelted from perfect crystals, which are visible to the naked eye. The stone melts well, is poorly soluble in various acids, and also has a faintly perceptible magnetic field.
