Axinite is a rare and unusual crystal that is a deep brownish red color. It is a tabular crystal, very wedge-like in form. Not much has been written about this unique crystal and I am still in the process of working it out. However, what is known is that this crystal is a good choice when going through change and transformation. It allows you to gracefully make the change required for personal growth. It is a very positive crystal that brings out the positive in everyone who encounters it. I have personally found that Axinite aids in decision making, allowing me to make the correct decisions in my life. Some say this stone aids friendships, bringing two people closer together than ever. Physically, Axinite treats disorders of the adrenal glands.
