Extract

In recent years several occurrences of clinoenstatite and of clinohypersthene have been recorded, the identification depending on the oblique extinctions measured from a prominent cleavage. This is, of course, quite inconclusive, because many sections of hypersthene show extinction-directions oblique to the trace of a prominent cleavage, and much fuller data would be necessary before most of these occurrences could be accepted as monoclinic Mg-Fe-pyroxenes.
