The beautiful name variscite is derived from the Latin word “Variscia’ which is a primitive name for the district in Germany known as Vogtland, where the gem was first found. It has been used for a very long time as an adorning stone, and sometimes, it is also called “green turquoise” because of its similar appearance to turquoise. This gemstone is mostly used in the creation of astonishing variscite jewelry collections and sometimes for religious purposes by native americans. Some verifiable variscite antiques have been found in burial cities and among the assets of ancient civilizations.
