董青石（Cordierite或Lolite,Dichroite）:名字源于希腊文中的Violer，寓意其呈紫罗兰色，Cordierite这个名字是为了纪念法国地质学家科尔迪埃（P L A Cordier,1777~1861年）。Dichroite这个名字来自希腊文“双色”。由于董青石有像蓝宝石一样的蓝色，古人也称之为“水蓝宝石”

  董青石属于绿柱石族，斜方晶系。与海蓝宝是一个族系的宝石。

  宝石级董青石品种颜色为蓝色和蓝紫色，董青石也可呈无色、微黄白色、绿色、褐色和灰色等。常见的矿物包裹体有赤铁矿或针铁矿、磷灰石、锆石及气体液包体等。由于具有明显的多色性，用肉眼从不同角度观察，可以发现它的颜色有明显的变化。

  其中斯里兰卡产的一种董青石包裹主要为赤铁矿和针铁矿，颜色为红色，绝大多数颗粒呈板状和针状，并呈定向排列，当包裹体大量出现时可使堇青石呈现红色，这种堇青石又被称为“血射董青石”（Bloodshot）。
