Phosphosiderite Jewelry: Light Bearer of the Crystal Family

Phosphosiderite is one of the rare stones found on earth, made up of phosphate and iron. The stone can range in colors from brown-yellow to violet, rose red, pink, and even moss green. In its purest form, Phosphosiderite is found in cream-white color. Rarer Phosphosiderite crystals can come in green color that may be threaded with yellow. It gets its name from the Greek words “phosphorus” and “sideros” (“sideros” means iron). The crystal system of Apatite, Hematite, Zircon, and Barite is similar to that of Phosphosiderite. Phosphosiderite is found around other crystals such as Morganite, Kunzite, Lithium Quartz, Petalite, Rhodonite, Pink Danburite, Tugtupite, Rose Quartz, and Variscite.
