The recalculation of amphibole analyses

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 March 2018

Affiliation:
Department of Geology, University of Durham

Summary

A good chemical analysis of an amphibole will give cation numbers that can be correlated in detail with the available lattice positions. The substitions that must be recognized are described. A more rigorous check of the analytical results becomes possible and the sources of error may be indicated.
