Abstract

X-ray powder diffraction data, unit cell parameters and chemical data published previously for kutnohorite, the manganese-rich double carbonate mineral, are critically evaluated and compared with new measurements on a specimen from Chvaletice, Czechoslovakia with a composition Ca (Mn0.64Mg0.23Fe0.13)(CO3)2. Data were collected with a computer controlled diffractometer and analysed with profile analysis techniques. The new powder diffraction data set yields much better data and unit cell parameters than the earlier ones given for kutnohorite on PDF 11-345 (Powder Diffraction File, 1987). A least-squares evaluation resulted in ao = 4.8518(3)Å and co = 16.217(2)Å.
