I think it's not the official name for Chlorite but I've found many specimens in the FMF gallery with this same name. How should I name it ?

| Locality: | | Fiescher Glacier area, Fiesch, Goms, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland | |

Hi Dany,
Chlorite is actually a group of a dozen or so micaceous silicate minerals. Clinochlore, Cookeite, and Chamosite are probably the most commonly seen members of the group. Without an analysis, I would label your specimen Albite with Chlorite (Group). If your specimen is from a well-known location, perhaps someone has already analyzed a similar sample and you could be more certain which member of the group you have.

Thank you for you answer. I tried to find a more precise information before posting without success. I'll try to send a mail to "Le Musée de la Science de la Terre - Fondation Tissières Martigny", a museum dedicated to the specimen of the area. Maybe they could help me.
Have a nice and safe day.
Dany.

I don't have any UV lights but I'll try with the sun but I'll have to wait because we have a very bad weather with the first snow in the mountains around me.
Have a nice and safe day.
Dany.
