M1 octahedron

(+) M1 octahedron (+) type by convention

M1 octahedron This is a (-) type (-)

M1 Creates an “I-beam” like unit in the structure.

(+) T M1 Creates an “I-beam” like unit in the structure

The pyroxene structure is then composed of alternating I-beams
Inosilicates: single chains- pyroxenes (+) (+) The pyroxene structure is then composed of alternating I-beams Clinopyroxenes have all I-beams oriented the same: all are (+) in this orientation (+) (+) (+) Note that M1 sites are smaller than M2 sites, since they are at the apices of the tetrahedral chains

The pyroxene structure is then composed of alternation I-beams
Inosilicates: single chains- pyroxenes (+) (+) The pyroxene structure is then composed of alternation I-beams Clinopyroxenes have all I-beams oriented the same: all are (+) in this orientation (+) (+) (+)

Tetrehedra and M1 octahedra share tetrahedral apical oxygen atoms
Inosilicates: single chains- pyroxenes Tetrehedra and M1 octahedra share tetrahedral apical oxygen atoms

The tetrahedral chain above the M1s is thus offset from that below The M2 slabs have a similar effect The result is a monoclinic unit cell, hence clinopyroxenes (+) M2 c a (+) M1 (+) M2

Orthopyroxenes have alternating (+) and (-) I-beams the offsets thus compensate and result in an orthorhombic unit cell This also explains the double a cell dimension and why orthopyroxenes have {210} cleavages instead of {110) as in clinopyroxenes (although both are at 90o) c (-) M1 (+) M2 a (+) M1 (-) M2

Pyroxene Chemistry The general pyroxene formula: W1-P (X,Y)1+P Z2O6
Where W = Ca Na X = Mg Fe2+ Mn Ni Li Y = Al Fe3+ Cr Ti Z = Si Al Anhydrous so high-temperature or dry conditions favor pyroxenes over amphiboles

Hornblende: (Ca, Na)2-3 (Mg, Fe, Al)5 [(Si,Al)8O22] (OH)2 Same I-beam architecture, but the I-beams are fatter (double chains) Hornblende (001) view dark blue = Si, Al purple = M1 rose = M2 light blue = M3 (all Mg, Fe)

Hornblende: (Ca, Na)2-3 (Mg, Fe, Al)5 [(Si,Al)8O22] (OH)2 (+) (+) (+) Same I-beam architecture, but the I-beams are fatter (double chains) a sin (+) (+) All are (+) on clinoamphiboles and alternate in orthoamphiboles Hornblende (001) view dark blue = Si, Al purple = M1 rose = M2 light blue = M3 (all Mg, Fe) yellow ball = M4 (Ca) purple ball = A (Na) little turquoise ball = H

Hornblende: (Ca, Na)2-3 (Mg, Fe, Al)5 [(Si,Al)8O22] (OH)2 M1-M3 are small sites M4 is larger (Ca) A-site is really big Variety of sites  great chemical range Hornblende (001) view dark blue = Si, Al purple = M1 rose = M2 light blue = M3 (all Mg, Fe) yellow ball = M4 (Ca) purple ball = A (Na) little turquoise ball = H

Hornblende: (Ca, Na)2-3 (Mg, Fe, Al)5 [(Si,Al)8O22] (OH)2 (OH) is in center of tetrahedral ring where O is a part of M1 and M3 octahedra (OH) Hornblende (001) view dark blue = Si, Al purple = M1 rose = M2 light blue = M3 (all Mg, Fe) yellow ball = M4 (Ca) purple ball = A (Na) little turquoise ball = H

Amphibole Chemistry See handout for more information General formula:
W0-1 X2 Y5 [Z8O22] (OH, F, Cl)2 W = Na K X = Ca Na Mg Fe2+ (Mn Li) Y = Mg Fe2+ Mn Al Fe3+ Ti Z = Si Al Again, the great variety of sites and sizes  a great chemical range, and hence a broad stability range The hydrous nature implies an upper temperature stability limit

Amphibole Chemistry Ca-Mg-Fe Amphibole “quadrilateral” (good analogy with pyroxenes) Tremolite Ferroactinolite Ca2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2 Actinolite Ca2Fe5Si8O22(OH)2 Clinoamphiboles Cummingtonite-grunerite Anthophyllite Mg7Si8O22(OH)2 Fe7Si8O22(OH)2 Orthoamphiboles Al and Na tend to stabilize the orthorhombic form in low-Ca amphiboles, so anthophyllite  gedrite orthorhombic series extends to Fe-rich gedrite in more Na-Al-rich compositions

Amphibole Chemistry Hornblende has Al in the tetrahedral site
Geologists traditionally use the term “hornblende” as a catch-all term for practically any dark amphibole. Now the common use of the microprobe has petrologists casting “hornblende” into end-member compositions and naming amphiboles after a well-represented end-member. Sodic amphiboles Glaucophane: Na2 Mg3 Al2 [Si8O22] (OH)2 Riebeckite: Na2 Fe2+3 Fe3+2 [Si8O22] (OH)2 Sodic amphiboles are commonly blue, and often called “blue amphiboles”

Amphibole Occurrences
Tremolite (Ca-Mg) occurs in meta-carbonates Actinolite occurs in low-grade metamorphosed basic igneous rocks Orthoamphiboles and cummingtonite-grunerite (all Ca-free, Mg-Fe-rich amphiboles) are metamorphic and occur in meta-ultrabasic rocks and some meta-sediments. The Fe-rich grunerite occurs in meta-ironstones The complex solid solution called hornblende occurs in a broad variety of both igenous and metamorphic rocks Sodic amphiboles are predominantly metamorphic where they are characteristic of high P/T subduction-zone metamorphism (commonly called “blueschist” in reference to the predominant blue sodic amphiboles Riebeckite occurs commonly in sodic granitoid rocks

Cleavage in the Chain Silicates
Pyroxene Cleavage in the Chain Silicates Amphibole Fig. 3.24

Inosilicates pyroxene amphibole
Cleavage angles can be interpreted in terms of weak bonds in M2 sites (around I-beams instead of through them) Narrow single-chain I-beams  90o cleavages in pyroxenes while wider double-chain I-beams  o cleavages in amphiboles

Phyllosilicates Tetrahedral layers are bonded to octahedral layers
(OH) pairs are located in center of T rings where no apical O

Phyllosilicates Octahedral layers can be understood by analogy with hydroxides Brucite: Mg(OH)2 Layers of octahedral Mg in coordination with (OH) Large spacing along c due to weak van der waals bonds c

Phyllosilicates a2 a1 Gibbsite: Al(OH)3
Layers of octahedral Al in coordination with (OH) Al3+ means that only 2/3 of the VI sites may be occupied for charge-balance reasons Brucite-type layers may be called trioctahedral and gibbsite-type dioctahedral

Phyllosilicates T O - T O - T O Kaolinite: Al2 [Si2O5] (OH)4
Yellow = (OH) vdw Kaolinite: Al2 [Si2O5] (OH)4 T-layers and diocathedral (Al3+) layers (OH) at center of T-rings and fill base of VI layer  vdw weak van der Waals bonds between T-O groups

Phyllosilicates T O - T O - T O Serpentine: Mg3 [Si2O5] (OH)4
Yellow = (OH) vdw Serpentine: Mg3 [Si2O5] (OH)4 T-layers and triocathedral (Mg2+) layers (OH) at center of T-rings and fill base of VI layer  vdw weak van der Waals bonds between T-O groups

Chrysotile does not do this and tends to roll into tubes
Serpentine Octahedra are a bit larger than tetrahedral match, so they cause bending of the T-O layers (after Klein and Hurlbut, 1999). Antigorite maintains a sheet-like form by alternating segments of opposite curvature Chrysotile does not do this and tends to roll into tubes

“Biopyriboles” Why are there single-chain-, double-chain-, and sheet-polymer types, and not triple chains, quadruple chains, etc??

“Biopyriboles” It turns out that there are some intermediate types, predicted by J.B. Thompson and discovered in 1977 Veblen, Buseck, and Burnham Cover of Science: anthophyllite (yellow) reacted to form chesterite (blue & green) and jimthompsonite (red) Streaked areas are highly disordered Cover of Science, October 28, 1977 © AAAS
