Danburite is a rare crystalline mineral that resembles topaz. It was first discovered in 1839 in Danbury, Connecticut, from which it gets its name. However, the original deposits in Danbury are no longer accessible, making Mexico the primary source of Danburite crystals today. Because the mineral is not consistently available from Mexico’s zinc mining regions, Starborn seizes every opportunity to acquire this precious, rare gemstone and transform it into exquisite jewelry
