Mineral Name: Variquoise

Locality: Snowville, Box Elder County, Utah.

Dimensions: 0.58" x 0.65" (15mm x 17mm)

Characteristics of this specimen: Variquoise is an unusual intergrowth of Variscite and Turquoise. It is generally not possible to differentiate between the two species, but Variquoise can vary in color and typically has a distinctive spider web matrix. These pieces have been polished on the face by our own Tim Grasso. Perfect for jewelry or display!

Care Notes: Turquoise, in particular, is sensitive to chemicals and heat. This combination of minerals should be kept out of the elements and out of water.

-----

Healing Keywords: Variquoise is associated with inner peace, compassion, and stress release. It is connected to trusting one's power and power of spirit.
