What Is Danburite?

Danburite is a calcium borosilicate mineral with the formula CaB₂Si₂O₈. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and commonly forms transparent to translucent prismatic crystals.

Typical colors include colorless, pale yellow, and yellowish brown. Danburite has a Mohs hardness of about 7 to 7.5 and a specific gravity of roughly 2.93 to 3.02.

It occurs in several geological environments, including contact-metamorphic deposits and hydrothermal settings. Fine crystals are known from Mexico, Russia, Japan, and other localities.
