chlorite group

It was named for its similarity to the chlorite group of minerals.

Chlorite group includes a wide variety of similar minerals with considerable chemical variation.

Chamosite is the Feend member of the chlorite group.

Seraphinite is a trade name for a particular form of clinochlore, a member of the chlorite group.

Depending on the academic source, there are three or four main groups of clays: kaolinite, montmorillonite-smectite, illite, and Chlorite group.

Delessite is a mineral variety, a magnesium rich form of chamosite which is a member of the chlorite group.

'Chlorite group'

Similarly, the range of chemical composition allows chlorite group minerals to exist over a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions.

The chlorite group is related to mica group, but a brucite-like (Mg(OH)) layer between the T-O-T stacks.

Associated minerals include biotite and other micas, chlorite group minerals, quartz, zircon, certain feldspars, analcime, anatase, brookite, rutile, siderite, and apatite.
