Radiant, distinctive, and full of life, Thulite is a gemstone that celebrates natural color at its most expressive. Known for its rich pink-to-rosy hues often streaked with subtle white or gray veining, Thulite embodies warmth, creativity, and individuality. Whether used in fine jewelry or collected as a gemological rarity, its lively tone and satin luster make it impossible to overlook.
Named after “Thule,” an ancient term for the far north, Thulite was first discovered in Norway, where it remains the country’s national gemstone. It is a manganese-bearing variety of zoisite, the same mineral family that includes Tanzanite. The presence of manganese gives Thulite its vibrant pink color, while its fibrous crystal structure produces a soft, velvety texture when polished or faceted.
With a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, Thulite offers durability suitable for earrings, pendants, and occasional-wear rings. Fine specimens from Norway, Austria, and even select deposits in the United States showcase a remarkable range—from pastel rose to deep raspberry pink—often with beautiful marbled patterns that make every gem unique.
