Please only use the official IMA–CNMNC symbol. Visit for gemological information about Tremolite.Īs of 2021 there are now IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols (abbreviations) for each mineral species, useful for tables and diagrams. White fibrous tremolite may be confused with wollastonite or anthophyllite.įor further information, see the tremolite best minerals article, see link: As with all asbestiform minerals, this fibrous variety is considered carcinogenic if ground into fine dust and inhaled in large amounts, so people should use care in its handling. Tremolite may be highly fibrous to asbestiform, and can then be included in the group of materials called asbestos, though it was rarely used commercially. The amphibole varieties byssolite (hair-like fibres), and nephrite can consist, fully or partly, of tremolite. Tremolite coloured green by chrome (Cr 3+) is often called chrome-tremolite, whereas the purple variety, coloured by manganese, is called hexagonite. Although the most common color of tremolite is white or other pale colors, it may also be brown, greenish (coloured by Fe), grass-green (colored by Cr and/or V) or purple (coloured by Mn).
