Chlorite Specimen, ±1" in size, Each

Details

Chlorite is a metamorphic mineral that has undergone light alteration. During metasomatism, phyllosilicate minerals may become hydrated and form chlorite. The greener color and near-soapy feel of chlorite distinguish it from other phyllosilicates at a glance, and the presence of water distinguishes it chemically. Great for geology classrooms, this sample is ideal for lessons on metamorphism, mineral alteration, as well as general identification and classification exercises. Geologist selected: each specimen is hand-selected and processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits its defining features. Locally processed: our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, New York. Individually packaged and labeled: each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag and is labeled and barcoded for easy identification.
