CLINOCHLORE SPECIMENS

Clinochlore is a silicate mineral from the chlorite group, typically found in shades of green, from pale to deep olive, though it can also appear gray, yellow, or brown. Known for its foliated, plate-like structure, clinochlore crystals often exhibit a pearly to vitreous luster and a soft, layered appearance. This mineral forms as thin, flexible sheets or in flaky masses, giving it a characteristic “leafy” or “scaly” look, which is common among minerals in the chlorite family.
