Nontronite, a striking clay mineral from the smectite family alongside montmorillonite and saponite, owes its name to the town of Nontron in France, where it was first uncovered. This bold green mineral thrives in low-grade metamorphic rocks, hydrothermal zones, and weathered volcanic ash layers. Its vivid green hues, ranging from subtle pale to intense dark green, boldly showcase the iron within.
