Variscite

Variscite is a relatively rare phosphate mineral. It is sometimes confused with turquoise; however, variscite is usually greener in color. The green color results from the presence of small amounts of trivalent chromium.

    Variscite usually forms as a secondary mineral in near-surface deposits where phosphate-bearing waters interact with minerals that contain aluminum often in the form of a cavity filling.
