Thulite was first discovered at a place called Sauland in Telemark, Norway in 1820. It is named after the mythical island of Thule in the belief that the island is Scandinavia. Thulite is used as a gemstone and carving material in the manufacture of jewelry and ornamental objects. Thulite is also found in the Austrian Tyrol and in Mitchell County, North Carolina. A new, more recent find of a small quantity of Thulite was discovered near Riverside in Okanogan County, Washington, and in Snillfjord i Trøndelag, Norway during tunnel constructions in December 2018.[4] Thulite is also found in New Zealand in the Otago region of the South Island.
