Stefoinite has an interesting story. Legend has it that back in the 1950s or possibly earlier, Rudy Stefoin and a couple of prospecting friends discovered this stone somewhere in Wyoming. They never revealed the location to anyone and Rudy took that information to his grave. Some have tried to work it out, but so far it remains a lost bit of prospecting history.
I managed to source some last fall (after using up all the slabs I had a decade or two ago) and have been making a few pieces with it.
Earrings with stefoinite, black onyx and pearl.
