Tremolite is the green, chromium (Cr) rich variety of
Tremolite.
Like other chromium rich gems, the green color
is due to the chromium content. The main source for
Chrome Tremolite is the D-Block Mine in the Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mts, Simanjiro District, Manyara Region, Tanzania.
This is the same mine famous for the finest Tanzanite
gems. This
mine occassionally produces bright, lime green Tremolite crystals with amazingly flat
and glassy terminations. These beautiful crystals set the standard for Tremolite.
