Emeraldite

Accompanying mineral Emeraldite found in the same area as Austrian emeralds

In addition to emeralds, emeraldite, a type of rock rich in minerals similar to emeralds, is also abundant in Habachtal, Austria. Emeraldite is formed in green shales and is often used as a decorative stone due to its green colour, which can vary in shades depending on the composition of the particular sample. Although emeraldite is not technically the same as gem emerald, it contains minerals such as actinolite and chlorite, which give it a specific, rich green colour that resembles emeralds.
