Description

Euclase is a beryllium aluminium silicate mineral with a hardness of 7.5. Its crystal system is monoclinic. Its name derives from the Greek words meaning ‘easy fracture’, which is a trait of Euclase brought about by the perfect cleavage of its crystals. This tendency to cleave makes Euclase a difficult gemstone to cut. It is also quite rare. It forms as prismatic crystals in granite pegmatites. The color range of Euclase includes colorless, blue, pale blue and blue-green. The most important deposits of Euclase are in Brazil, and others are in India, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Russia.
