Agni Manitite

Overview

Agni Manitite, often sold as Pearl of Fire, is an extremely rare tektite from Java, Indonesia, formed when a meteorite impact melted surface material into glassy bodies. Its appearance ranges from deep charcoal to smoky translucent pieces, and many quality specimens are hard to collect because much of the material lies underwater along coastal deposits.

Energetically this stone carries a direct, fiery quality focused on personal will, creative spark, and leadership. It is commonly used to increase confidence, accelerate manifestation practices, and support adventurous action. Because it is a product of cosmic fire meeting earth, its signature is both elemental and catalytic, ideal for people who want an upward nudge in momentum and purpose.

Science & Origin

Agni Manitite is a natural tektite, formed from terrestrial material melted and ejected by a meteorite impact. The Sanskrit rooted name, agni mani, means “pearl of the divine fire”, reflecting its meteoritic origins. Typical tektite composition is glassy and silica rich, though exact chemistry may vary by source, hardness and specific physical properties are variable, and specimens can show internal flow textures, bubbles and smoky translucence.

Because many deposits are now submerged, Agni Manitite is relatively rare on the market compared with other tektites. Collectors prize well formed specimens with translucence and surface texture that speak to violent, molten formation.

Spiritual Meaning

Agni Manitite is used as an accelerant for the will, a stone that helps align inner desire with outward action. It encourages clearer decision making, stronger creative courage, and the capacity to lead with integrity. Its connection to the Solar Plexus helps you feel the authority of your own choices, while also refining how you express personal power.

Spiritually it can be used to support higher volume manifestation work, and to remind the holder that bold, conscious action is often required to realise deep purpose.

Care & Practical Notes

Tektites are glassy and may be brittle, avoid heavy knocks. Cleanse with sound, smoke, or moonlight. Do not use harsh chemicals, wipe gently with a soft cloth when needed. Store wrapped if you keep with other stones to avoid abrasion.
