With its dark, blade-like crystals, Aegirine is basically the 'ninja' of the mineral kingdom — stealthy, protective, and sharp in more ways than one!
 
Aegirine is an eye-catching mineral of the pyroxene family, easily identified by its sleek, dark green to black, elongated crystal blades. Often called “Acmite” when describing its slender, needle-like shape, Aegirine is commonly associated with minerals like Nepheline, Feldspar, Quartz, and Sodalite.
 
This mineral grows mainly in alkali-rich igneous formations, especially nepheline syenites, and is also found in metamorphic environments exposed to high temperatures. Notable sources of Aegirine include the Kola Peninsula in Russia, Langesundfjord in Norway, and Mt. Malosa in Malawi.
 
In crystal healing, Aegirine is known for its protective, stabilizing, and cleansing properties. It is believed to ward off negative influences, purify the aura, and promote confidence and integrity. Aligned with the root and solar plexus chakras, it nurtures emotional strength and vitality.
 
Spiritually, Aegirine is said to encourage spiritual growth and higher awareness. It sharpens intuition, deepens connection to guides, and supports emotional healing. Many also use it to aid in detoxification and to help maintain a healthy immune system.
