The\u003c\/span\u003e color of thulite is caused by manganese, which replaces part of the calcium in the mineral’s structure and gives the stone shades ranging from pale pink to reddish. Zoisite has a hardness of about 6–7 on the Mohs scale, which makes thulite a fairly durable decorative and jewelry stone. It often occurs in metamorphic rocks together with minerals such as quartz and calcite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1877\" data-start=\"1555\"\u003eThulite was first discovered in 1820 in Norway, near Sauland in the Telemark region. The mineral was named after Thule, mentioned in ancient sources as the northernmost known land, later associated with Scandinavia. Norway remains one of the best-known localities for thulite, although it is also found in other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moussa Minerals \u0026 Fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54704190128396,"sku":"THUL1","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4211\/8668\/files\/thulite-tumbled.jpg?v=1772905099","url":"https:\/\/semiphoras.com\/en\/products\/thuliitti","provider":"Semiphoras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
