Description

Here is a nice surprise of a self-collected specimen from a trip to Morocco in 2015. It is an interpenetrated aggregate of strongly metamorphosed black magnesiochromite, with minor patches of magenta coloured foliated chromian clinochlore with minor stichtite. As far as I know this chromian clinochlore (previously known as “kammererite”) is here recognized for the first time in Morocco. It has been analysed by FE-SEM/EDS and XRD, and the analyses will be provided with the specimen.
