Chromium-rich clinochlore (kämmererite) from Turkey.

Chadwick, Karen A.
- Abstract
The article describes two specimens of a chromium-rich clinochlore from Turkey loaned by Alexandra Woodmansee of Rock Logic of Glencoe, Minnesota to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The properties of the clinochlore specimens include medium-dark purplish red and inert to both long- and short-wave ultraviolet radiation fluorescence. Raman analysis revealed that the specimens were kämmererite. Woodmansee revealed that the stones were cut from old stock and the 0.92 carat stone is one of the largest faceted specimens known to her.
