Scapolite, Fluorescent

Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, Laurentides

Quebec, Canada 

Also known as Wernerite, Scapolite  is commonly found in stubby to long prismatic crystals. In 1920, yellow scapolite was found in Madagascar, and in 1930 similar material was found in Brazil and later Mozambique. Gem quality scapolites have also been found in Kenya and Tanzania, resembling amethyst in color. Scapolite is usually yellow to orange, pink or violet, but its lack of dispersion and low hardness keep it from being a well known gemstone.
