Layman's explanation:	Crocoite is an orange-red mineral which is found mainly in Tasmania, Australia. However it was first discovered in the Urals Mountains of Russia in 1766. Shortly after, in 1832, it was given its name in reference to its color, from a Greek word meaning saffron. It is occasionally used as a paint additive or pigment, and is the only natural occurring chromate of industrial importance. It is very sought after by mineral collectors due to its rarity and unusual color.
