A rare mineral composed of calcium, manganese, and silicate with a characteristic blue-green color.
From Greek 'glaukos' (bluish-gray) plus 'chroite' (relating to color, from 'chroma'). The name directly describes the mineral's distinctive coloration.
Glaucochroite is so rare that most geologists will never see a specimen in their entire careers—it's found in only a handful of locations worldwide, making each specimen a geological treasure!
