Scapolite is characterized by prismatic crystals with square or eight-sided faces. It appears in a variety of colors, including yellow, purple, pink, green, gray, or colorless. It often exhibits a glassy luster, and some rare types may show chatoyancy or fluorescence under ultraviolet light. Scapolite typically forms in metamorphic rocks, especially marble, and in pegmatite rocks.
