Blauer Eis-Glacierite

Blue Ice Glacierite is a newly discovered mineral from Indonesia that is in the Beta-Aluminate family of hard ceramics; the chemical composition of the material is a Sodium-Aluminum Oxide. It is very hard like all Aluminum oxides. For instance, Sapphire is also an Aluminum Oxide. Blue Ice Glacierite was formed as the unintended artifact of an industrial process or smelting, like many other materials used in the Mineral and Jewelry trade such as Zincite, Fordite, Swedish Blue Glass, and Leland Blue. Blue Ice Glacierite contains trace elements of Cobalt and Vanadium that cause the vivid blue coloration. (Read More)
