Tilakons
Tilakons are a group of minerals that belong to the pyroxene family, which is a subgroup of the silicate minerals. They are characterized by their single-chain silicon-oxygen structure and their ability to exhibit pleochroism, a property where the mineral appears to change color when viewed from different angles. Tilakons are typically found in igneous and metamorphic rocks and are often associated with other minerals such as olivine, amphibole, and biotite.
The name "tilakon" is derived from the Greek words "tilas," meaning "to twist," and "kon," meaning "angle,"
Tilakons are further classified into two main types: orthorhombic and monoclinic. Orthorhombic tilakons have three axes
Tilakons are valued for their use in jewelry and as gemstones due to their attractive colors and
