Ferrohedenbergite from
Tin bearing skarns, Cassiar, Liard Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada


Locality type:Outcrop
Classification
Species:Augite var: Ferrohedenbergite
Formula:(Ca,Mg,Fe)(Fe,Mg)Si2O6
Comments:Clinopyroxene is a major constituent of both skarn types, typically appearing pale to medium green and coarse-grained, with crystals up to several millimetres in size. In garnetite it occurs as interstitial material, while in pyroxenite it forms subhedral to euhedral grains, sometimes projecting into cavities. Its composition is strongly Fe- and Ca-rich and is often near the hedenbergite end-member
