Chemical composition and physical properties of lithium-iron micas from the Krušné hory Mts. (Erzgebirge)

Compositions of natural lithium-iron micas are approximated best by the sidero-phyllite-polylithionite join. These micas contain little or no magnesium and manganese. Their octahedral sheets contain close to two trivalent cations (mainly aluminum) in small crystallographic sites and a variable quantity of lithium and R⁺² (mainly iron) in large sites. Octahedral vacancies are situated mostly in large sites. Lithium and R⁺² approach a 44 replacement relationship in micas with octahedral occupancy close to six. Lithium and fluorine show a good positive correlation (small excess of fluorine over lithium), which indicates a crystallochemical association between them. There is a less distinct positive correlation between lithium and R⁺⁴.Based on simplifications, a calculation shows that about two-thirds of octahedral vacancies are caused by substitutions within the octahedral sheet, one-third, by tetrahedral substitutions. Different methods of calculating the crystallochemical formula yield slightly different numbers of octahedral vacancies, but do not affect the mica's position in plots of physical parameters against composition. If a crystallochemical formula is calculated from analysis of a mica contaminated with quartz, topaz, or feldspar, the apparent number of octahedral vacancies increases; such a formula exhibits unusual behavior in composition plots.     

Griquait mit rhombischem Pyroxen (Granatwebsterit) von Borek bei Stupná bei Křemže (Krems) in Böhmen

Zusammenfassung Es wird das Vorkommen von Griquait mit rhombischem Pyroxen (Granatwebsterit) von einem Feld am Borekwald, kaum 1 km westlich von der Gemeinde Stupná bei Keme südöstlich von eské Budjovice (Böhm. Budweis), beschrieben. Den Mineralgehalt des untersuchten Gesteines bilden Enstatit, Endiopsid, Pyrop, Amphibol, Spinell, Plagioklas und ein Mineralgemengteil in Form von Kelyphit oder Symplektit. Das Gestein fällt durch seinen hohen Gehalt an Magnesium auf. Es wird für saures Äquivalent der Peridotite gehalten.

Griquaite with orthorhombic pyroxene (Garnetic Websterite) from Borek at Stupná near Keme in Bohemia

Summary The occurrence of griquaite with orthorhombic pyroxene (garnetic websterite) is described; it lies in a field near the Borek forest, scarcely 1 km west of the village Stupná near Keme, SE of eské Budjovice (South Bohemia). The mineral content of the rock studied consists of enstatite, endiopside, pyrope, amphibole, spinel, plagioclase and a mixture of minerals in the form of kelyphite or symplectite. The rock is interesting because of its high magnesium content. It is considered to be an acid equivalent of peridotite.
