The combination of deep blue color and effervescence when moistened with hydrochloric acid are identifying characteristics of the mineral. [8] [11]
The Mohs Hardness Scale [25] is a commonly used tool in lapidary to help measure a minerals hardness. A mineral's hardness is measured by seeing how easily scratched it is, and what other minerals on the Mohs Hardness scale can scratch it. This tool is helpful in indicating what different lapidary methods should be used on the material.
