Description
- Greener color and near-soapy feel of chlorite distinguishes it from other phyllosilicates
- presence of water distinguishes it chemically from other phyllosillcates
- Correlates well to Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements
- Forms when hot water alters the chemistry of an existing mineral
- During metasomatism, phyllosilicate minerals may become hydrated and form chlorite
- This sample is ideal for lessons on metamorphism, mineral alteration, and general identification exercises
