Origin & History
Variscite is a relatively rare phosphate mineral that forms through the interaction of phosphate-rich solutions with aluminum-bearing rocks, often in arid or desert regions. Nevada Variscite, in particular, is highly regarded for its soft mint, sage, and seafoam hues, frequently accented with natural matrix, veining, or darker inclusions that reflect its geological formation.
Historically, Variscite has been used for thousands of years in adornment and ceremonial objects. Archaeological findings show Variscite beads and carvings dating back to ancient European civilizations, where it was often mistaken for turquoise due to its color. Indigenous cultures in the American Southwest valued Variscite as a stone of peace, balance, and spiritual grounding, using it in personal adornment and trade.
Nevada is one of the most respected modern sources of high-quality Variscite, prized for its stable material and naturally rich coloration.

Stone Character & Appearance
Nevada Variscite is celebrated for its soothing green palette, ranging from soft mint and pistachio to deeper forest and jade-like tones. Natural veining, webbing, and color zoning are common and expected—these are not imperfections, but signatures of authenticity formed over time. Each bead carries subtle differences, creating a necklace that feels alive, layered, and unmistakably one of a kind.

- Sound cleansing (singing bowl or chime)
- Selenite placement
Charge:
- Moonlight (especially new or full moon)
- Selenite
Care Notes:
- Avoid water exposure, especially soaking, as Variscite is a softer stone and prolonged moisture can weaken or dull the surface.
- Avoid placing near Hematite for extended periods; Hematite’s dense, grounding energy may energetically overpower Variscite’s calming, heart-centered nature.
- Store away from harder stones to prevent scratching.
