Starfox Variscite, 4.86 cts., 16.2 x 10.5 mm, Pear Cabochon, Blue, Black, Multicolor, Nevada, Natural

Gem: Starfox Variscite Weight: 4.86 cts. Size: 16.27 x 10.50 x 3.77 mm. Color: Blue, Black, Multicolor Clarity: Opaque Cut: Pear Cabochon Locality: Nevada Treatment: None This is a beautiful Variscite Cabochon! Variscite is an uncommon Aluminum Phosphate mineral that is often confused with Turquoise. However, Variscite is green, and Turquoise is commonly the iconic blue color, but collecting in the field can be deceptive when you have these similar colors in hand. This example is a picturesque collage of Blues and Black with highlights of white. It is completely natural and untreated. Apprentice cut at Kosnar Gems, Colorado, USA. Enjoy!
