Abstract

X-ray powder diffraction and optical data are presented for a vanadium-rich dravite from Silver Knob, Mariposa County, California, U.S.A. The limited compositional variability observed for vanadium-rich dravite is due to the presence of a Tschermaks substitution whereby the substitution of Al for Si in the tetrahedral ring is charge balanced by trivalent for divalent cation substitution in the octahedral sites in the structure. Vanadium-rich dravite is uniaxial negative with ε = 1.646(2) and ω = 1.676(2). Refined unit cell dimensions are a = 15.9599(10) and c = 7.1889(2); F30 = 111(0.009; 30); M20 = 80; and Dx = 3.07. An indexed X-ray powder diffraction pattern is also presented.
