chlorite
Metamorphic rock component
Chlorite names two unrelated substances.
In chemistry, a chlorite is a salt containing chlorine and oxygen, used in bleaching and water treatment: sodium chlorite.
In geology, chlorite is a group of green minerals common in metamorphic rocks, often giving stone a greenish tint.
The geological sense comes from a Greek word for green.
