Pargasite has the chemical formula NaCa₂(Mg₄Al)(Si₆Al₂)O₂₂(OH)₂, crystallises in the monoclinic system and measures 5 – 6 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Pargasite is a calcic amphibole named after Pargas, Finland. It typically occurs as dark green to black prismatic crystals in high-grade metamorphic rocks such as marbles and skarns, and in some alkaline igneous rocks. It is an important indicator mineral in metamorphic petrology.
