More About Variscite
Variscite is a fairly rare light green-to-aqua colored phosphate mineral that is sometimes confused with turquoise. While the two gemstones have some similar characteristics, variscite is usually greener in color than turquoise and often contains white veins of a second phosphate mineral called crandallite.
