Also called Starlite, is a magnificent stone; unfortunately has a name that has been confused with Cubic Zirconia, which is a synthetic material.

From that area is possible to obtain a beautiful blue-green tone. Good hardness ( about 8 from the Mohs scale),but is little brittle.Good intense color.
