Axinite
 

	Axinite is an unusual gemstone that is not normally worn as Jewelry because of its low clarity, making gem quality specimens suitable for Jewelry exceedingly rare.
	The name Axinite is derived from the Greek word “Axine” meaning “Axe”, which describes the wedge-like shape of its crystals.
	Mineralogist, R. J. Hauy discovered Axinite in the French Alps in 1797.
	Axinite is composed of several different ions and is actually a series name for a group of four related minerals. All have the same structure but are different in terms of chemistry. Despite the differences, most collectors simply refer to them as Axinite.

Because of its excellent luster and well formed flattened crystals Axinite is commonly collected as a mineral specimen. It is a Triclinic mineral, which means that it has no symmetry planes or axes of rotation.
