Glaucophane
Glaucophane (a hydrous silicate containing sodium, magnesium, and aluminum) is a rich blue
mineral with a diamond-shaped cross-section. This semi-rare mineral develops in metamorphic
rock environments, usually occurring with albite and lawsonite. Glaucophane is found
throughout the western Alps and the western United States.
