Brazilianite is a sodium aluminium phosphate mineral with the chemical formula NaAl3(PO4)2(OH)4. It was recognized as a distinct mineral species in 1945 from material found in Minas Gerais, Brazil, after specimens had initially been mistaken for chrysoberyl. Usually yellow to yellow-green, it can fo...

It has been used as an ornamental stone and jewelry material for thousands of years, and deposits in the southwestern United States have a long history of mining, trade, and use in Native American arts. Th...
Pyromorphite is a lead chlorophosphate mineral with the chemical formula Pb5(PO4)3Cl. It commonly forms barrel-shaped or prismatic hexagonal crystals in the oxidized zones of lead-ore deposits, where it may occur in green, yellow, brown, or related colors. Because of its crystal form and color range...
Why this score
Bright green crystal specimens are popular with collectors; softness and lead content prevent broader gemstone prestige.

Herderite is a calcium beryllium phosphate mineral in the apatite group, with the formula CaBe(PO4)(F,OH). It crystallizes in the monoclinic system and commonly appears as colorless, pale-yellow, or greenish-white prismatic crystals; transparent crystals from Minas Gerais, Brazil, have been cut as g...
Why this score
Rare collector phosphate with pleasant pale colors; limited size, modest appearance, and low recognition suppress consensus.

Fluorapatite is a phosphate mineral whose chemical structure contains calcium, phosphate, and fluoride. It belongs to the apatite group and can occur in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary settings, including as a component of phosphate-rich deposits. Fluorapatite is also important in biology beca...
Libethenite is a copper phosphate hydroxide mineral that commonly forms olive-green to dark green crystals. It was first described from Ľubietová in Slovakia, a mineral locality whose historical German name was Libethen. The mineral is valued mainly by collectors because of its crystal form and colo...
Why this score
Deep green copper phosphate crystals are collectible; small size, softness, and obscurity limit broad appeal.

Purpurite is a phosphate mineral composed primarily of manganese and iron. It is recognized by its purple, violet, or dark red coloration and usually has an opaque appearance rather than the transparency associated with many gem minerals. Purpurite forms in oxidized pegmatite environments and has be...
Why this score
Distinctive purple color gives ornamental appeal; softness, opacity, and frequent surface instability limit quality consensus.

Variscite is a hydrated aluminum phosphate mineral with the formula AlPO4·2H2O. It usually forms as opaque to translucent green material, with color influenced by trace elements, and occurs as a secondary mineral in near-surface phosphate-bearing deposits. Lucin and Fairfield in Utah are recognized...
Phosphosiderite is a hydrated iron(III) phosphate mineral with the formula FePO4·2H2O and a monoclinic crystal structure. It occurs in colors ranging from purple and reddish violet to rose, peach-pink, brownish yellow, green, or colorless, and it has a relatively low Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4. The m...
