Ekanite
Ekanite is an uncommon
mineral notable primarily as being among the very few gemstones that are naturally
radioactive. Most ekanite is mined in Sri Lanka, although deposits also occur in Russia and North America. Clear and well-colored stones command the best prices, but such stones are rare; the mineral's radioactivity tends to degrade the crystal matrix over time in a process known as
metamictization. Furthermore, ekanite can easily be misidentified as
tourmaline. The market for gemstone-quality ekanite is for the moment limited to collectors.
