Summary

Electron micrographs of scarbroite show thin platy crystals of about 1 μ size, having rhombic outlines with angles 66° ± 1° and 113° ± 1°. Single-crystal electron-diffraction patterns show rectangular net patterns, with d100 = 9·90 Å., d010 = 14·67 Å., γ* = 90° ± 0·05°. Strong hk0 reflections show a pseudohexagonal arrangement, but true symmetry is probably orthorhombic or monoclinic. Faces outlining rhombic forms are of type {11l}, .
