Crystal chemistry of the humite minerals

The minerals of the humite group have the formula nM₂SiO₄• M₁₋ₓTiₓ(OH₃F)₂₋₂ₓ0ₓ₂ where M is Mg, Fe, Mn, Ca, Zn in decreasing order of abundance, x < 1, and n=1 for norbergite, n=2 for chondrodite, n= 3 for humite, and n=4 for clinohumite. Description of the humites as alternating layers of forst...
