| â Fluoro-tremolite Formula: ◻Ca2Mg5(Si8O22)F2 Habit: fibrous Description: Amphiboles at this locality occurs as prismatic crystals in small cavities in teh rock and as fibrous masses in the groundmass. The prismatic crystals fall in the fluoro-edenite compositional space, there is more variation in the chemistry of the fibrous amphiboles in teh rock groundmass. The fibrous amphiboles is fluor dominant and falls within the tremolite, edenite, richterite and winchite sompositional space. References: Gianfagna, A., Andreozzi, G.
