✪ Clinozoisite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlAl)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Habit: radial to fan-like aggregates of prismatic crystals, often frozen in Quartz
Colour: Bright pink to red
Description: Much of this material was collected in the 1960's to 1970's. The bright pink radial sprays make for visually impressive specimens, and examples are not uncommonly still available from time-to-time in the minerals dealer market. (ROM 4/25/2005)
ⓘ Epidote
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
ⓘ Grossular
Formula: Ca3Al2(SiO4)3
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
