Hypersthene Palmstone Hypersthene is a common rock-forming inosilicat e mineral belonging to the group of orthorhombi c pyroxene s. Many references have formally abandoned this term, preferring to categorise this mineral as enstatite or ferrosilite . It is found in igneous and some metamorphic rocks as well as in stony and iron meteorites . It forms a solid solution series with the minerals Enstatite and ferrosilite, being a mid-way member between the two. Pure Enstatite contains no iron, while pure ferrosillite contains no magnesium; Hypersthene is the name given to the mineral when a significant amount of both elements are present. Measures approx. 6.8 cms x 5.0 cms x 1.1 cms. Check out my other items !
