Definition 7.10 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 7 章 — Rock-Forming Minerals

Olivine is the nesosilicate solid solution (Mg, Fe)X2SiOX4\ce{(Mg,Fe)2SiO4}. Garnet is a group of cubic nesosilicates X3Y2(SiO4)3\mathrm{X_3Y_2(SiO_4)_3}, X a divalent ion (Mg, Fe, Mn, Ca), Y a trivalent one (Al, Fe, Cr). A pyroxene is a single-chain inosilicate XYSi2O6\mathrm{XYSi_2O_6}; an amphibole is a double-chain inosilicate with hydroxyl, of about A0−1X2Y5(Si,Al)8O22(OH)2\mathrm{A_{0-1}X_2Y_5(Si,Al)_8O_{22}(OH)_2}. A mica is a sheet silicate with a potassium ion between the sheets, such as muscovite KAlX2(SiX3Al)OX10(OH)X2\ce{KAl2(Si3Al)O10(OH)2} and biotite K(Mg, Fe)X3(SiX3Al)OX10(OH)X2\ce{K(Mg,Fe)3(Si3Al)O10(OH)2}. A feldspar is an aluminium framework silicate of sodium, potassium or calcium. The plagioclase feldspars form the solid solution albite NaAlSiX3OX8\ce{NaAlSi3O8} – anorthite CaAlX2SiX2OX8\ce{CaAl2Si2O8}; the alkali feldspars lie between albite and orthoclase KAlSiX3OX8\ce{KAlSi3O8}.
