Abstract
We report the first natural occurrence and single-crystal X‑ray diffraction study of the Fe-analog of wadsleyite [a = 5.7485(4), b = 11.5761(9), c = 8.3630(7) Å, V = 556.52(7) Å3; space group Imma], spinelloid-structured Fe2SiO4, a missing phase among the predicted high-pressure polymorphs of ferroan olivine, with the composition
