Extract

It is unfortunate that so many published analyses of mica are not accompanied by the physical data for the material used. Nevertheless, enough information is available to permit a general comparison of the density relations for the group. This is most conveniently made in terms of the specific volume, for, in most isomorphous series, the volume is an additive property eveu when the molecular volumes of the endminerals differ appreciably. Such a relationship will be shown to hold good approximately for the micas; the volume can be calculated from constants assigned to the constituent oxides, the difference from the observed value being rarely more than 2 per cent.
