About Hibschite

Hibschite is a calcium aluminum silicate hydroxide end-member of the hydrogarnet series, typically forming colorless to pale pink or greenish masses and crystals in metamorphic environments. It occurs in contact metamorphic zones and is found in localities in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia, named after mineralogist J.E. Hibsch. Faceted or ornamental hibschite is rarely encountered, and the mineral is primarily of mineralogical interest as part of the hydrogarnet solid-solution series.
