Extract

Considerable recent interest has been shown in a group of double-chain silicate phases which includes the new mineral zektzerite, LiNaZrSi6O15 (Dunn et al., 1977; Ghose and Wan, 1978), and a family of isotypic phases (Marr and Glasser, 1979a and b). These phases are closely related structurally to Na2Mg2Si6O15 (Cradwick and Taylor, 1972), tuhualite, (Na,K)2Fe2+2Fe3+2Si12O30.H2O (Merlino, 1969), and emeleusite, Na2LiFeSi6O15 (Upton et al., 1978).
