Agni Manitite – Pearl of Divine Fire
Agni Manitite is an unusual natural volcanic glass found in Indonesia, particularly on the islands of Java and Sumatra. The name is derived from Sanskrit, with “Agni” referring to fire and “Mani” to a jewel or precious stone, giving rise to the beautiful name “Pearl of Divine Fire.”
These fascinating stones have a dark, almost black appearance at first glance, but when held up to a strong light they can reveal gorgeous smoky brown, grey and translucent tones hidden within.
Agni Manitite is sometimes marketed as a “pseudo-tektite” because of its resemblance to natural tektites. However, unlike true tektites such as Moldavite, which are formed from terrestrial material melted and ejected during meteorite impacts, Agni Manitite is generally considered to be volcanic glass rather than a true tektite.
Its mysterious appearance and unusual Indonesian origin have led to several stories surrounding its formation, including claims of meteorite involvement. These are fascinating theories, but its exact geological story is not as firmly established as that of recognised tektites.
Metaphysical Properties
Agni Manitite is traditionally associated with the element of fire and is believed to carry a strong, energising energy.
It is said to encourage confidence, personal power and inner strength, helping you trust your own abilities and move forward with greater courage and determination.
