Brontolite is a rare mineral, with the chemical formula Ca2Al3(PO4)3. It was discovered in 1859 in the Brontë Hills of Yorkshire, England, and was named after the Bronte sisters, who were famous English authors. The mineral is found in phosphate deposits and is typically colorless or white, although it can also be yellowish or brownish. It has a vitreous luster and a pearly appearance, and it is relatively soft, with a Mohs hardness of about 3.5. Brontolite is not well known as a gemstone, but it is sometimes used in jewelry due to its unique properties and rarity.
