Jarosite is not used in jewelry as it is too brittle. The luster is also dull and it is usually a dark yellow or brown stone.

Jarosite is typically not used in jewelry due to its relatively low hardness and susceptibility to scratching and damage. It is more commonly used in industrial applications such as pigments, inks, and as a source of iron and sulfate in the mineral processing industry.

How rare is jarosite?

Rarity is relative. My experience and a quick perusal of mindat.org would suggest that jarosite is not very rare. (There are many hundreds of localities, and fine micro crystals can be easily purchased for a few bucks.) However, jarosite is indeed rare in large crystals or fine specimens of display quality.
