Thulite, which is composed of Calcium Aluminum Silicate Hysdroxide, is a pink form of zoisite that is sometimes referred to as "Rosaline". It is found in a number of localities, including Lom in Norway, the Austrian Tyrol, Western Australia, and North Carolina and Washington State, USA. It is an opaque, massive, mineral with a vitreous to pearly luster that exhibits a perfect cleavage. Its soft pink color is due to trace quantities of manganese — this give it an attractive look which has made it popular for ornamental use in the jewelry trade as well as for carvings.
