ⓘ Clinochlore

Formula: Mg₅Al(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₈

Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region.

Habit: Hexagonal rosettes. Flat faces tend to bear feathery growth striations.

Colour: Various shades of green. Occasionally silvery, or stained orange-brown from iron oxides.

Description: Enormous crystals for a species that’s so often either massive or microscopic in habit, often serving as a backdrop for the eye-catching andradite-grossular specimens the region is known for. Individual floater rosettes can reach ~8x5 cm, and are typically associated with dodecahedrons or crusts of magnetite. Despite their tendency to become bruised in transit, the rosettes still make for great examples of clinochlore’s growth habits and can exhibit good luster and translucency.
