Clinozoisite is a monoclinic inosilicate mineral that occurs as elongated, often somewhat prismatic crystals with a vitreous to adamantine luster. The color range includes green to pale brown, frequently displaying subtle pleochroism that can aid in identification when viewed in polarized light. Crystals commonly form in metamorphic rocks, often as part of schist or gneiss assemblages, and may occur with associated epidote and other calcium-aluminium silicates.

Formula
Ca2Al3(Si2O7)(SiO4)O(OH)

About Clinozoisite

Notable specimens come from classic mineral localities in Pakistan, the United States, Austria, Mexico, and Peru, where hydrothermal and regional metamorphic processes have produced well-formed crystals and attractive aggregates. Collectors value clinozoisite for its pleasing crystal form, the interplay of color and luster, and its association with other green silicates, which creates visually appealing display pieces. It is often cut into slabs or kept as rough mineral specimens to showcase its crystal habit.
