This pleasing rectangular pocket stone is about 25 x 35mm in size, so it's convenient to always have with you as a hand charm.
The stone medicine according to Michael Gienger uses Variscite to promote clear expression and a sober, rational attitude. The stone is also valued for its encouraging and balancing effect.
The name Variscite is derived from the first known location of the mineral in the Vogtland region (Latin: Varisca); the spellings Varizit or Variskit are therefore incorrect.
Occasionally found synonyms are Utalite, Californian Turquoise or Utha Turquoise.
