Variscite has been used in Europe to make personal ornaments, especially beads, since the late Stone Age. Its use continued in the Bronze Age and Roman times, although it was not until the 19th century that it was established that all the variscite used in Europe came from three places in Spain, Gavá (Barcelona), Palazuelo de las Cuevas (Zamora), and Encinasola (Huelva).[10]
Variscite is sometimes used as a semi-precious stone and is popular for carvings and ornamental use due to its beautiful and intense green color, and is commonly used in silverwork instead of turquoise.
Variscite is rarer and less common than turquoise
