zoisite (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A natural silicate of calcium and aluminum silicate, Ca2Al3(SiO4)3OH, characteristic of regional metamorphism and of hydrothermal alteration of igneous rocks. A member of the epidote group of nesosilicates, it is a lustrous transparent to translucent stone with color ranging grayish-white, peach, pink (thulite), blue (tanzanite) or green. Named for Baron Zois van Edelstein (1747-1819). |
