A mineral belonging to the alkali pyroxenes. Its chemical composition is (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Al)Si 2 O 6 , and is intermediate between jadeite NaAlSi 2 O 6 , diopside CaMgSi 2 O 6 , and hedensite CaFe 2+ Si 2 O 6. It has light to dark green, sometimes brown, short columnar, granular, or leaf-like crystals. Monoclinic system. Mohs hardness 5-6, specific gravity 3.3-3.4. It is well cleaved. Along with garnet, it is a major component of eclogite, and is also found in metamorphic rocks of the lanthanite schist facies that were metamorphosed under high pressure.
