Gaspeite
The color of gaspeite could range from pale green to apple green. The luster is vitreous or dull. The crystals are translucent but in massive amounts it is completely opaque. Gaspeite can only be found in two locations in the world. Because of that, it is considered a rare mineral, although it is very popular in jewelry.
Opal
