A highly fluorescent material, Willemite is a zinc silicate mineral known and a minor ore of zinc. It can be brown, reddish-brown white, gray, or light apple green. It emits an intense glow when under a ray of ultraviolet light. 

As gorgeous as it looks, Willemite isn’t a great jewellery or lapidary material. It has a hardness rating of 5.5, making it a soft and fragile mineral that’s difficult to polish. It also sustains scratches easily.

Willemite is formed when Sphalerite ore bodies are altered. It can be found in marble and may occur as a result of the metamorphism of Hemimorphite or Smithsonite. Willemite is found in different locations but it is most commonly found in zinc, iron, and manganese deposits in New Jersey and in Arizona.
