Comments: | Giuseppe Finello in July 2021: "I did several EDS analyzes on "chlorite" samples from Montoso and Luserna and in all the samples analyzed, iron prevails over magnesium. I did not go beyond the investigations but I am convinced that in the mining complex of the Luserna stone, chamosite is clearly prevalent over clinochlore. Indeed I would be led to think that the clinochlore is not present. The sample of the photo has not been analyzed but considering the mentioned analyses I think there are no doubts: it is chamosite."
