Phosphosiderite 

Phosphosiderite is known for its soft lavender to purple tones and its smooth, often cloudy appearance. Its gentle color range and fine-grained texture give the stone a delicate, elegant look that is highly appreciated by collectors.

Because of its relative softness and attractive color, Phosphosiderite is commonly used for polished stones, cabochons, beads, and small decorative pieces. Each specimen displays subtle variations in shade formed during natural mineral growth.
