Do you have any info on Hardystonite, Leucophoenicite, and Merlinite?

Hardystoniteis a rare calcium zinc silicate mineral that by daylight looks like a massive ashen white or pink mineral, but when put under UV rays, its fluorescence comes in a variety of colors, such as bright purples and blues. Sellers use these fluorescent colors to trick buyers into thinking they’re buying a brightly colored mineral. It was named by John E. Wolff after Hardyston Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA in 1899. Hardystonite contains lead and which was detrimental for zinc smelting process, but it wasn’t enough for it to be classified as a useful ore mineral. It has a chemical composition of , a tetragonal system, and a hardness of 3 - 4. There doesn’t seem to be any metaphysical properties on this particular mineral, though. 

Leucophoenicite is a nesosilicate that has a chemical composition of Mn72+(SiO4)3(OH)2, a monoclinic system, and hardness of 5½ - 6. The name is Greek words leukos meaning “pale” and foinis meaning “purple-red”, which is in reference to the minerals general colors. It was by Samuel Lewis Penfield and Charles Hyde Warren, where the mineral was found in Franklin Mine in New Jersey in 1899. Leucophoenicite typically occurs as isolated grains or granular masses. Crystals of the mineral are slender, prismatic, elongated, and striated, but they occur rarely. The only metaphysical information I can find for this particular mineral is that it is used as a stone for peacefulness and help with phobias.

Merlinite is a market name for dendritic chalcedony. Being a quartz, it has a chemical composition ofSiO2, a trigonal system, and a hardness of 6½ - 7. It’s dendrites come from a combination of manganese oxide with potassium and barium inclusions. It is often misclassified and sold as an dendritic opal and a volcanic rock, which varieties may share a similar name. Merlinite is also used to describe dendritic agates and drusy quartz over a black mineral called psilomelane. Often called the stone of duality, it stimulates deep intution, bring harmony to one’s life, aids in creativity, and said to bring magic into the wearer’s life.
