Definition
A greenish mineral composed of altered magnesium silicate, formed through metamorphic processes in rocks.
Etymology
Named after the Bastié mine or region; the -ite suffix is a common mineralogical suffix denoting mineral species. Bastite represents an altered or metamorphosed form of the mineral enstatite.
Kelly Says
Bastite forms in metamorphic rocks when the original mineral enstatite gets altered by geological heat and pressure—it's one of several minerals that show us how rocks transform under extreme conditions deep in the Earth.
