There are several fibrous varieties of clinoamphibole. The variety known as asbestos is characterized by a fibril structure: fibers close to the wave length of visible light in width, which share a common orientation parallel to the fiber axis, but which are disordered with respect to other crystallographic directions. The fibril structure produces anomolous optical properties: parallel extinction and only two indices of refraction. (100) twinning may also play a role in producing these optical effects.
