| Title | Chlorite schist, Madison County, North Carolina |
|---|---|
| Description | This schist, from the mountains of western North Carolina, is composed nearly entirely of chlorite. It is likely the chlorite formed by alteration of other minerals, but the alteration has been so complete that it is hard to tell what those other minerals could have been. This sample is 10 cm across. |
