Trolleite is an Aluminum Phosphate mineral that combines Quartz, Lazulite, Scorzalite and occasionally Lepidolite. It usually forms in large masses, and its transparency varies from translucent to transparent, depending on the crystal''s composition and the presence of inclusions.

The hardness of trolleite will vary depending on its specific composition. The bulk of the stone falls within the 5.5 to 6 range on the Mohs hardness scale, the quartz portions are typically closer to 8.5. The color of the stone will vary on its mixture of white, light green, bluish-green, and blue segments. At times, the blue shades are lighter, often close to faded denim depending on the saturation of Lazulite, or Scorzalite.
