For my fellow rock geeks: Thulie it the pink version of Zoisite. It is sometimes referred to as Rosaline Zoisite. The color can range from very pale pink to almost red depending on the amount of Manganese present in the sample. It is common to see Thulite marbled with white calcite. Thulite was first discovered in Norway and is the country's national stone.
