Trolleite is an extremely rare aluminum phosphate mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses and small prismatic crystals. It is commonly found as an inclusion in Quartz, alongside similar minerals such as Scorzalite and Lazulite.
The mineral was originally found in Sweden in 1868, and was named after the famed chemist and attorney general, Hans Gabriel Trolle-Wachtmeister. Originally, it was thought that Trolleite was only found in it's type locality (initial place of discovery), but throughout the 20th century, more and more deposits began to be unearthed. One of the largest and most important veins of Trolleite in the mineral community comes from the Minas Gerais region in Brazil. From this locality, large deep blue inclusions of Trolleite can be found in huge Quartz masses.
