What is the name of a lustrous green mineral consisting of silicate of calcium aluminum and iron?
Epidote.
What causes some quartz to appear green?
Quart can be colored green by inclusions of the minerals fuchsite or epidote.
What is the chemical composition of skarn?
Minerals commonly present within skarn rocks include garnet, magnetite and epidote.
What sedimentary rock turns into epidosite?
Sedimentay rocks like greywacke of arkose, in presence of high fluid-rock ratio, can be converted to epidosite. The feldspars present in these rocks are altered to epidote & these rocks contain already quartz which together form epidosites. Epidosites also occur as part of metasomatic skern association. sedimentary dolomite associated with ultramafics often show contact zone metasomatism, in which Ca- minerals are often altered into epidote. Quartz is produced as by products in the reactions.
What is the texture of hornfels?
I too would like an answer to this question as it seems hornfels could be of varying grade dependant on the temperature. The facies of contact metamorphism progress in temperature at relatively low pressure from the Albite-Epidote Hornfels Facies to the Hornblende Hornfels Facies, to the Pyroxene Hornfels Facies. It seems that hornfels do have differant grades.
What product can you get from epidote?
Epidote, a nonmtallic mineral, can be used as a gemstone.
What are the imporntant uses of epidote?
The only known use of Epidote is as a precious stone used in jewelry.
Pistachio green mineral?
Epidote.
How does epidote form?
Epidote is formed from a set of minerals, and it is used to form other mineral types of its own kind by chemical reactions on it.
What Type of rocks are found at Ayers Rock?
Ayers Rock is located in the Northern Territory in Australia. It is composed of arkose and conglomerates made up of basalt, chlorite, and epidote.
Could the green stones seen along Lake Michigan be epidote?
Yes

What is the chemical composition of skarn?
Minerals commonly present within skarn rocks include garnet, magnetite and epidote.
What is a silica mineral that the second letter is p?
There are numerous silicate minerals with second letter "p", including sphene, epidote, spodumene and apophyllite.
What are the minerals in Colorado?
Copper, gold, silver, molybdenite, quartz, feldspars, micas, amphibole, magnetite, tourmaline, epidote, diamond, garnets, and many others.
How is greenstone formed?
Greenstone, also known as greenschist, is a non layered metamorphic rock derived from basalt, gabbro or similar rocks containing sodium-rich plagioclase feldspar, chlorite, epidote and quartz. Chlorite and epidote give the green color. New Zealand Jade or Greenstone ( Pounamu in Maori ) comes in four main types: Kawakawa, Kahurangi and Inanga are Nephrite or Calcium Magnesium Silicate. Tangiwai is Bowenite or Iron Magnesium Silicate.
