Variscite is more rare and precious than turquoise.
People have created jewelry from variscites since Neolithic times, more than 6,000 years ago. Neolithic beads carved from variscite discovered in Brittany, France were called callaïs or callaina, after a gemstone described by the Classical Roman scholar Pliny the Elder. Although first believed to be turquoise from the Far East, it became evident this material wasn’t turquoise but variscite.
