Variscite Cutting Rough
Variscite is often confused with turquoise, but it is a fine gem material in its own right. Variscite is hydrous aluminium phosphate and was first found in Germany. The Utah locality is mostly mined out, but excellent quality variscite is also available from Australia.Variscite cuts easily and takes a good polish with diamond or tin oxide, followed by green rouge (Zam is a brand name for green rouge). Mohs hardness 4.
