I'm a language and science enthusiast. I don't really write a lot, but I read a lot in Wikipedia. I think Wikipedia is a platform where we can genuinely share our knowledge. I'm here to learn as well as contribute. One more you share, one more the whole world know about. So stop hesitating and get to work!!

The mineral occurs as crystals, and also in compact massive, and fibrous forms. It is found worldwide, mostly found in sedimentary rocks, usually in small quantities. Pale blue crystal specimens, as shown in this photograph, are found in Madagascar.
