Description
Variscite from Lucin, Utah has a nice green color and is usually found in a greyish matrix. The combination of the variscite and the matrix gives it a beautifully distinct look.
We were fortunate to come across this 10 lbs. piece of Lucin Variscite at a rock shop near Zion National Park in southern Utah. It was sitting in a pile of ugly looking variscite outside covered in dirt.
We sectioned this specimen in half in preparation for slabbing. Both the matrix and the variscite are quite hard.
