About Tremolite

Tremolite is a calcium magnesium silicate amphibole that ranges from colorless and white to pale green, with the most gemologically notable form being the hexagonite variety displaying a delicate pink to violet color from manganese, found in upstate New York and Ontario, Canada. Translucent to opaque white massive tremolite called nephrite jade is one of the two true jades. Fine transparent crystals have been faceted into collector gems, while chrysotile asbestiform tremolite was historically important industrially.
