Abstract

A knowledge of the site occupancies and order-disorder relationships in the amphibole is essential to a better understanding of their crystal chemistry. In this study four natural amphibole were studied by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. XRD measurement showed that the T1-O bond lengths are longer than T2-O bond lengths respectively in pargasite and edenite, due to [4]Al ordering in T1 site. Also it showed that the M2-O bond lengths are shorter than M1-O and M3-O bond lengths in pargasite, due to [6]Ti and [6]Al ordering in M2 site.
