Variscite is a hydrated aluminum phosphate (AlPO4ยท2H2O), which is valued as a semiprecious gemstone and an ornamental material. Variscite is a mineral in which iron replaces aluminum in the crystal structure, occurs as glassy nodules, veins, or crusts, in near-surface deposits: variscite is produced by the action of phosphate-rich waters on aluminous rocks, and strengite by alteration of iron-containing phosphates. Variscite is usually green. This Variscite Is From Utah, U.S. Chenically is is identical to Turquoise - But lacks On Element that turquoise has - Copper. The deposit in Lucin, Utah, has been described briefly by Pepperberg (1911) and Sterrett (1911). The country rock is a moderately dipping quartzite, locally calcareous, with intercalated limestone beds. Tertiary intrusives are nearby. The variscite and associated minerals occur in strongly brecciated quartzite (or more probably a silicified limestone, and the mineralization follows the strike intermittently for 600 feet. The angular openings between quartzite breccia fragments have been filled with the phosphates, but they have not replaced the siliceous material. Much of the variscite is in nodules and balls; a small amount forms discontinuous veins. This deposit has yielded crystals of variscite and metavariscite occurring in cavities of the massive variscite. Variscite is cut into cabochons (with a round, convex, polished surface) for brooches, earrings, and beads and is fre6quently substituted for turquoise. also is carved into bowls or other decorative objects.
