Abstract

The crystal structure of anthophyllite Na0.01Ca0.02Mg5.71-Fe1.24Mn0.02(Si7.95Al0.05)O22(OH)2 has been refined by single crystal X-ray methods using 1316 independent reflections. The space group is Pnma with the unit cell dimensions a = 18.544(2) Å, b = 18.026(2) Å, c = 5.282(1) Å and V = 1765.6(4) Å3, Z = 4. Chemical and optical data are given. The refinement of the atomic parameters and of the cation distribution gives final values of R = 0.034 and Rw = 0.035. The M sites show a high degree of Mg and Fe cation ordering. M2 is only occupied by Mg and M1, M3 also contain very little iron. M4 is greatly enriched in iron: 0.62 Fe and 0.38 Mg. The coordination of M4 is highly irregular with five next oxygens and two longer M4 – O distances. The A site is found to be empty.
