About Axinite

Information from Gemrockauction

Axinite is a group of gemstones or the iron-dominant member of that group, called axinite-(Fe) or ferroaxinite. The name “axinite” comes from the ax-head shape of some of the crystals.

Is axinite rare? Yes, axinite is a rare gemstone, only known widely among collectors. But it has fascinating properties!

One property is its strong pleochroism, meaning you’ll see different colors as you turn it under direct light. Another set of properties is its ability to become electrically charged from heat (pyroelectricity) and physical pressure (piezoelectricity).

Today, we’ll go over all of these unique traits, from axinite’s metaphysical properties to its meanings, prices, history, and more!

What is an Axinite Stone?

Axinite is a semi-precious gemstone usually found in shades of brown, though it’s also known for its beautiful purple hues. Though “axinite” is technically the mineral group, the individual mineral most people refer to as simply “axinite” is the iron-rich ferroaxinite or axinite-(Fe).

Astrologically, axinite is beneficial for Ariessigns. It can be substituted for hessonite garnet as a January birthstone, but it may not be a more affordable alternative.

Besides hessonite, axinite may also resemble chrysoberyl, tourmaline, and topaz.

Axinite Specifications & Characteristics

The axinite mineral group comprises four rare borosilicates: ferroaxinite, manganaxinite, magnesioaxinite, and tinzenite. The most common gem-quality mineral in the group is ferroaxinite. The group’s formula is (Ca, Mn, Fe, Mg)3Al2BSi4O15(OH).

Axinite minerals often form as distinct wedge-shaped (ax head-shaped) or flattened tabular crystals. They can also be granular or massive.

You may confuse axinite for andalusite, another rare gem with similar colors, pleochroism, and hardness. You can identify axinite by its higher density and refractive index.

Additionally, axinite’s hardness is somewhat unique, as different orientations of the same axinite crystal can have different hardness rankings. Most axinites are biaxial negative, but higher magnesium content can lead to them being biaxial positive.

Zašto korisnici nadmašuju same sebe?

Kada se postavi ponuda, to je maksimalni iznos koji je korisnik spreman ponuditi za proizvod. Naš sustav će zatim automatski licitirati u ime tog korisnika, postupno povećavajući licitaciju kako bi zadržao svoju poziciju ponuditelja najviše, do navedenog maksimuma.

Kada postoji ikona koja označava "Automatsku ponudu", to znači da naš sustav aktivno daje ponude za korisnika na temelju njihove maksimalne ponude. Ovo se može činiti kao da korisnici sami sebe nadmašuju, ali to je jednostavno rezultat ažuriranja ponude sustava kako bi odražavala maksimalno ograničenje korisnika.

Revizija

Program Gemstone Sheriff omogućuje našim članovima da zatraže reviziju bilo kojeg proizvoda, koju dovršava neovisna :kvalifikacija koja procjenjuje točnost opisa artikla i slika.
