The Story of Variscite Jewelry: An Unfamiliar Jewel by Sagacia Jewelry
Variscite gemstone is one of the most unfamiliar and hidden gemstones in the world. It is an extremely rare, green gemstone with brown, black, and white patterns. The variscite stone is a little bit fragile, which is why it is used more for creating décor and carvings. Most of the variscite jewelry that is sold in the market possesses variscite stones in doublet and triplet form, because of this stone’s fragility. And if you are looking to buy sterling silver gemstone jewelry of variscite, you will rarely find it in mainstream jewelry stores or jewelry chain stores.

What Is Variscite Stone?
Having the chemical formula of AlPO4.2H2O, variscite is a kind of rare hydrated aluminum phosphate. This stone generally occurs in the color green, the greens ranging from bluish-green to yellowish green. In nature, variscite occurs in the form of veins, nodules, cryptocrystalline masses, and cavity fillings. This semi-precious stone also goes by the monikers - Utahlite, Amatrice (Amatrix), Bolivarite, and Peganite. On the Moh’s Scale of Mineral Hardness, variscite ranks between 3.5 and 4.5, which is why this soft stone is used as doublets and triplets when sold in the form of jewelry.
If you compare variscite with turquoise, you might find it similar to turquoise. But don’t confuse variscite with turquoise – both are different stones. Although both stones have similar composition, turquoise has copper inside it, which is why it looks more bluer, and, turquoise is more harder and more abundantly available than variscite.
Variscite is a very rare stone. Its deposits are found in various parts of the world, however, these deposits are very modest. In the United States, variscite is found in Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming. Other than the US, minuscule deposits of this stone are located in Australia, Brazil, Poland, and Spain. The highest grade of variscite is produced by Utah, and this variscite quality is known as Utahite.
