About Mellite
Mellite, also known as honeystone, is a unique hydrated aluminum benzene hexacarboxylate mineral—one of the very few organic gem minerals—forming transparent to translucent honey-yellow to orange-brown octahedral crystals with a resinous luster and low hardness (Mohs 2–2.5). It forms in brown coal (lignite) deposits and was first described from Thuringia, Germany, with additional occurrences in the Czech Republic and Hungary. The unusual organic composition and attractive amber-honey color make faceted mellite a remarkable collector gem.
