Clinozoisite var: Clinothulite  | |
| | Colour: | pink | | Description: | Qualitative SEM-EDS by Kerry Day:
Al (1.49 KeV) = 1221; Si (1.74) = 1459; Ca (3.69) = 1016; Mn (5.90) = 33; Fe (6.40) = 51; Background values 2/10 = 85/9
"Zoisite/Clinozoisite/Thulite. The smallest amount of Mn can colour an Epidote Group mineral cherry red."
Clinozoisite is very common at Joppa Hill, usually pale green, sometimes colorless, very rarely pink. Zoisite does not occur at the locality. "Thulite" = Mn-bearing zoisite. "Clinothulite" = Mn-bearing clinozoisite. | | Reference: | [P Cristofono collection, 2008] |
