Definition
A group of silicate minerals with an inclined crystal axis, commonly found in igneous rocks and including augite and diopside.
Etymology
From Greek 'klīnein' (to incline) and 'pyroxenos' (hostile to fire, an old mineralogist's name for pyroxene). The prefix 'clino-' specifies the monoclinic crystal structure.
Kelly Says
Clinopyroxenes are among Earth's most abundant minerals and form the dark grains in basalt—understanding them helped geologists realize the ocean floor is constantly being recycled from the mantle beneath.
