Tinzenite is a borosilicate that is part of the axinite group of minerals. It is often a vibrant orange, though can vary from red to yellow. It is found in only a few locations around the world, most notably in the Swiss and Italian Alps. It is named after its type locality: the town of Tinzen, near the mountain Alpe Parsettens in eastern Switzerland.
