Wollastonite is a common mineral in skarns or contact metamorphic rocks. Skarns can sometimes produce some wonderfully rare and exotic minerals with very unusual chemistries. Wollastonite has no unusual elements in its chemistry and it is somewhat common and not considered exotic among collectors. Wollastonite forms from the interaction of limestones, that contain calcite CaCO3 with silica SiO2 in hot magma. When hot magma intrudes limestones under volcanoes and then blown out of them. A few more words.
It is an important constituent in refractory ceramics such as refractory tile and as a filler for paints. Mineral specimens can be interesting with their fibrous habit, pearly luster and some specimens. Especially those from Franklin, New Jersey, will fluoresce. Named for the English chemist and mineralogist W. H. Wollaston.
