Clinozoisite (var. Clinothulite) - RARE - Pink Crystals of Epidote Group Mineral Clinozoisite (var. Clinothulite) with Minor Vesuvianite in White Quartz Matrix

Clinozoisite is a mineral belonging to the epidote group, specifically a calcium aluminum hydroxyl sorosilicate. It forms as prismatic or tabular crystals and typically occurs in metamorphic rocks such as schists and gneisses. Clinozoisite can vary in color, often appearing in shades of green, pink, or brown. It is closely related to epidote but differs in its crystal structure and chemical composition. The pink variety of clinozoisite is sometimes referred to as clinothulite, known for its distinctive coloration and rarity in mineral collections.

This piece is perfect for collectors seeking unique and rare minerals to enhance their collections. The contrasting combination of pink Clinothulite and white quartz makes it a standout addition. Don’t miss out on this rare find!
