DANBURITE FOR SALE
Danburite is a transparent to translucent mineral composed of calcium boron silicate. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and often forms prismatic crystals with well-defined, glassy faces. It is typically colorless or white, but it can also exhibit pale shades of yellow, pink, or brown due to trace impurities.
The mineral was first discovered in Danbury, Connecticut, in the 19th century, which is where its name originates. Danburite has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it durable for jewelry use. Its lustrous appearance and clarity often lead it to be compared with topaz or quartz, though it is less commonly known. Danburite can be found in pegmatites and metamorphic rocks, and significant sources include Mexico, Japan, and Madagascar.
