Clinochrysotile - Definition and Overview

This article or section should be merged with Chrysotile

Member of the serpentine-kaolinite group, clinochrysotile is the monoclinic form of chrysotile and likely the most common variety. Like the other two species of chrysotile (orthochrysotile and parachrysotile) it is very difficult to distinguish from the other species. Its type location is unknown although the chrysotile from Asbestos, Quebec, Canada is largely clinochrysotile.
