Castellanos and co-workers (personal communication) described in detail the characteristic mineral assemblages from reaction zones recognized in marbles, which include calcite + graphite [+ or -] quartz; calcite + diopside [+ or -] tremolite [+ or -] epidote-group minerals [+ or -] muscovite; calcite + wollastonite + quartz + garnet + diopside; calcite + dolomite + Ti-clinohumite + diopside + forsterite +
clinochlore [+ or -] graphite; calcite + forsterite + tremolite; dolomite + calcite +
clinochlore.
the Keystone Trappe Rock quarry at Cornog (exquisite small specimens of Alpine-type cleft minerals), Brinton's quarry at Darlington's Corners (the world's best large
clinochlore crystals), the Poorhouse quarry, West Bradford Township (excellent microcline), Corundum Hill, Newlin Township (good corundum and superb diaspore crystals), the fields around Parkesburg where line rutile crystals may still be found loose in the soil.

The major mineral composition for Lahore soil is Quartz, Muscovite and
Clinochlore, which shows that the alluvial deposit received sediments from metamorphic origin.
Chlorite compositions are close to the ideal
clinochlore composition ([Mg.

clinochlore and chamosite, and the Al-rich dioctahedral species, donbassite.
Lawrence County, New York and
clinochlore from West-townr Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Mineralogists of the 19th century were much more successful in the description of new layer hydrosilicates: allophane, amesite, antigorite, aspidolite, batavite, biotite /a series name/, celadonite, chamosite, chrysotile /a series name/,
clinochlore, corundophyllite, cronstedtite, delessite, diabantite, ephesite, glauconite /a series name/, halloysite, kaolinite, muscovite, nacrite /a polytype/, nontronite, palygorskite, paragonite, penninite /or pennine/, phengite /a series name/, phlogopite, polylithionite, pyrophyllite, ripidolite, roscoelite, saponite, sauconite, sepiolite, serpentine, siderophyllite, stevensite, tainiolite, thuringite, vermiculite /trioctahedral and dioctahedral, distinguished in the 20th century/, volkonskoite, zinnwaldite /a series name/.
These two mines were the source of the "colerainite" variety of
clinochlore (named for the nearby town of Coleraine; Black Lake was in the Municipality of Coleraine at the beginning of 1900).
And clinging to some of Laurent's garnets is an association I'd never seen before: sharp, fat, dull green books of
clinochlore to 3 cm.
Typical minerals of the quartz veins and their cavities include albite, fluorapatite, calcite, chabazite,
clinochlore, dolomite, goethite, graphite, kaolinite, muscovite, molybdenite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, quartz, rutile, siderite and tourmaline.
Only one locality produces high-quality
clinochlore containing enough chromium to turn the crystals cherry-red to purple.
