A blue or purple mineral belonging to the sodalite family, often found in volcanic rocks and prized for its bright color.
Named after the French mineralogist René-Just Haüy in the early 1800s, following the scientific naming convention of naming minerals after discoverers or prominent scientists.
Hauyne is so rare and beautiful that it's sometimes cut as a gemstone, but most people have never heard of it—it's the mineral world's hidden treasure!
