ARFVEDSONITE

(Alternate Names: Magician’s Stone, Midnight Seer Stone, Blue Lightning Stone)

Appearance

A deep black-to-charcoal mineral shot through with vivid electric blue or silver-blue flashes. Often fibrous, streaked, or layered, giving the impression of lightning trapped in stone. Opaque, heavy, and magnetic in presence — like holding a piece of storm-drenched night sky.

Unlike astrophyllite (often confused), Arfvedsonite’s flash is sharper, more linear, and lightning-like.

Planetary Correspondence

Uranus fuels sudden insight, breakthroughs, innovation, and psychic awakening.
Saturn provides grounding, structure, and discipline — preventing overwhelm from the stone’s intense energy.

Together, they make Arfvedsonite a brilliant storm: disruptive enough to change you, stable enough to integrate.

Elemental Association

Air — intuition, thought, perception, psychic clarity.
Spirit — revelation, higher knowing, deep truth.

Chakra / Energy Center

Third Eye — psychic sight, clarity, intuition.

For shadow workers, it lights the dark from within — not to frighten, but to reveal.

Myth & Lore

Modern metaphysics treats Arfvedsonite as the “Revelation Stone.”
Practitioners claim it can show the truth behind illusions, unravel confusion, and illuminate the path forward in times of transition.

Shamans and energy workers call it a “storm crystal,” used to break energetic stagnation and awaken dormant psychic abilities.
It’s often the stone chosen when intuition becomes cloudy or when spiritual messages feel out of reach.

Arfvedsonite is said to combine the shadow-penetration of obsidian with the insight of labradorite — but with a sharper, more directive energy.

Real Arfvedsonite:

– Opaque and dense
– Strong, directional chatoyancy in some pieces
