Scapolite is a group of silicate minerals that typically occur in metamorphic and igneous rocks. They are typically found in shades of yellow, brown, gray, white, or pink, and are characterized by their perfect cleavage and vitreous to greasy luster. Scapolites are commonly used as ornamental stones and are also of interest to geologists for their use in studying the processes of rock formation and metamorphism. They are found in many locations around the world, including Canada, Russia, Italy, and Tanzania.
