The discovery of variscite gemstone is quite new – it was discovered back in the early 1800s when A. Breithaupt found this stone in the ancient German Voigtland region, at a place called Variscia. The modern-day mines of variscite are located in Australia, Spain, the United States (in Nevada and Arizona), Brazil, and Poland. However, it was not so that the stone was unknown to the ancient civilizations – long before variscite was discovered, people living over 6,000 years ago made variscite jewelry, like variscite bracelets, variscite rings, and variscite necklaces that were made of beads. This jewelry was found in France, and it belonged to the Neolithic era.
