About Richterite Root Name GroupHide

Formula:
A(CaNa)C5(Si8O22)W2
The richterite minerals are defined by IMA-CNMNC as sodium-calcium amphiboles with A(Na+K+ 2Ca) > 0.5 apfu, where Na or K is dominant, and with C(Al+Fe3++2Ti) < 0.5 apfu. The W position may contain (OH),F or Cl.

The richterite species are defined with
A position: Na or K dominant
C position: Mg or Fe2+ dominant
Wposition: (OH), F or Cl dominant
Crystal System:
Monoclinic

Click on any node to view relationships. Formula-derived relationship network for the group members above. Use Find related species to add formula-neighbour species outside the current group view. Solid links show inferred chemical differences; dashed violet links show same-formula crystallographic differences. Hydration states are not treated as relationship changes. These relationships do not imply any real-world substitution reactions between these species.
