Abstract

High quality powder diffraction data were obtained from a specimen containing inseparable impurities, by using single crystal precession photographs to explore all possible reflections for the mineral being studied. In this manner it is acceptable to ignore weak reflections that do not index on the unit cell and that are not observed on the single crystal photographs. Triphylite is given as an example.
