Glaucophone is a member of the same named Glaucophane group, part of the Amphibole Supergroup, and is named after the Greek for "appearing sky-blue" after it's deep blue/ black/ grey colour. Llanite/Que Sera is also sometimes seen mislabelled as Glaucophane.

Glaucophane works with the Third Eye and Throat Chakras and can aid with memory and promote restful sleep, which is an essential component of maintaining good physical and mental health. It can help resolve issues and find solutions while connecting to the spiritual realm.
