Helenite is a man-made gemstone created from volcanic ash, specifically formed during the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington State in 1980. It was originally produced to commemorate the event and is also known as "Mount St. Helens glass." Helenite is typically colored in vibrant hues such as green, blue, and purple due to the presence of various metal oxides in the glass.
