Pollucite is a very rare cesium mineral. In fact, it is the only mineral in which Cs is an essential constituent. Gems are always very small, despite the existence of large beds at some localities. It is colorless and lacks fire when cut but is of extreme interest for collectors for its great rarity.
Name: Pollux was, along with Castor, a brother of Helen of Troy in Greek mythology. This mineral was found in Italy in 1846, and named pollux; it was associated with another mineral, named castor: which was later studied and renamed petalite. Pollux was renamed Pollucite. Due to its rarity this gemstone is the 1st in The Vaults
