Variscite is a green phosphate mineral, most often found in Utah, that is sometimes confused with Turquoise due to its appearance. It is named after Variscia, now known as Vogtland, in Germany, where it was first discovered. Variscite is porous, which means that it will absorb moisture, sweat, skin lotions, perfumes and other things, so care should be taken with Variscite in jewellery to avoid staining or discolouration.

 Variscite can help to balance the mind, body, and spirit, aiding in breaking bad behaviour patterns that can seem hard to escape from. This crystal can help increase self-esteem and it encourages you to see yourself in a new light. Variscite also stimulates strength and endurance to get through challenging situations, and it can help lessen worry and distress.
