Collection: Chlorite quartz

Chlorite quartz is a mineral association composed primarily of quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) and chlorite , a group of phyllosilicate minerals rich in iron and magnesium. It is not a mineral species in itself, but rather a common inclusion or association in certain metamorphic or hydrothermal rocks.

🔍 Characteristics of chlorite quartz

🧬 Education and background

Chlorite quartz generally forms in metamorphic or hydrothermal environments :

• During low to medium pressure metamorphism , typical of greenschists .

• By hydrothermal alteration , where fluids rich in silica and iron/magnesium ions promote the crystallization of these two minerals together.

Quartz crystals are often found with chlorite inclusions : the chlorite then appears as green veils, spots or filaments inside the quartz.

🔮 In lithotherapy

• Energy purification and protection .

• Emotional healing and immune system support.

• Green chlorite is said to be a stone of regeneration , enhanced by the amplifying clarity of quartz.
