Abstract/NotesAbstractNew chemical (EMP, SIMS) and structural data are reported for a suite of
crystals of oxo-mangani-leakeite and mangano-mangani-ungarettiite from their
common type locality, the Hoskins mine (New South Wales, Australia).
Notwithstanding the low OH content, FTIR analysis of selected sampleshas
provided considerable information on short-range order in these
Mn3+-rich amphiboles, and shows that Li is associated with
occupied A sites and is linked to the oxo-component at the O(3) site.
Comparative analysis of all available data allows us to: (1) further
improveour understanding of the crystal-chemistry of these very peculiar
compositions of the oxo-amphibole group; and (2) calculate reliable
site-populations. The proposed limited compositional variability has been
confirmed. The two amphiboles have completely different arrangements of
CR3+cations. In oxo-mangani-leakeites, those
CR3+ cations related to the oxocomponent occur at
the M (1) site, whereas those CR3+
cations related to the leakeite charge-arrangement occur at the
M (2) site. In mangano-mangani-ungarettiite,all
CR3+ cations order at the M (1)
and M (3) sites, and local bond-valence requirements are
satisfied by the presence of Mn3+, which assumes a strongly distorted
coordination due to its degenerate eg electronic state. Therefore,the
inverse patterns observed for both cation-ordering and deformation of the
octahedra are incompatible with solid-solution between these two species
that coexist at the Hoskins mine.
