chloritized
Explanation:
According to the US Geological Survey Spanish-English glossary (a great resource), "clorita" is chlorite and "cloritización" is chloritization. So "cloritizado" should be chloritized, and if you google it you find lots of geological examples, including a number that mention chloritized tuff. So I'm pretty sure that's your term.

with chlorite


Explanation:
My guess is that "fuertemente cloritízados" means "with large amounts of chlorite"... or words to that effect.
