Identity HelpUnknown information from the In den Dellen quarries/Germany

Hello,
Can anyone help me identify this mineral?
It occurs together with titanite and magnetite.
The image width is 0.8 mm therefore small tests are possible.
Questions Answered
Can it scratch glass? : Unable to test
Can you scratch it with your fingernail? : Unable to test
Is it light/heavy for the size? : Unable to test

Looking over the mineral list and photos, I would guess a pyroxene, or perhaps actinolite.

Hello Harold,
I looked at the photos of the site, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything comparable. However, shots of Diopside-Hedenbergite series are quite similar to my piece.
Thanks for your answer.

Hello Harold,
would also be possible. In my opinion, the crystal shape is different. But I'm not a mineralogist.
Since I have more of the material I will probably have it analyzed.
