Abstract
A new trioctahedral mica garmite, CsLiMg2(Si4O10)F2, a Cs analogue of tainiolite, was found in an substantially quartz rock in the Darai-Pioz alkaline massif, Rasht district (formerly Garm district), Central Tajikistan, and was named after the town Garm, an administrative center of the Rasht district. It is closely associated with Mn-bearing pectolite, aegirine, Sr-rich fluorite, quartz, datolite, and polylithionite. Garmite forms lamellae up to 0.2 mm across and up to 0.02 mm thick. The mineral is transparent, colorless, with perfect, mica-like cleavage on (001). The Moh’s hardness is 2.5; micro-indentation hardness VHN20 = 90 kg/mm2. Dmeas = 3.34(2) and Dcalc = 3.336 g/cm3. Garmite is optically biaxial (–), 2Vmeas = –10(5)°, α = 1.582(2), β = 1.601(2), γ = 1.602(2). The chemical composition (electron microprobe, Li and H by SIMS, wt %): SiO2 47.39, Al2O3 0.71, TiO2 0.71, Nb2O5 0.12, FeO 2.12, MnO 0.85, MgO 9.01, ZnO 2.23, K2O 0.16, Cs2O 26.98, Li2O 3.57, H2O 0.08, F 7.23, –O=F2 3.04, total 99.90. The empirical formula calculated on the basis of 12 (O + F) apfu is (Cs0.95K0.02)Σ0.97Li1.21(Mg1.37Zn0.16Fe0.15Al0.07Mn0.06Ti0.04)Σ1.85Si3.99O10.04(F1.92OH0.04)Σ1.96. Garmite is monoclinic, space group C2/m, C2 or Cm; polytype 1M. The unit-cell parameters are a = 5.234(2), b = 9.042(4), c = 10.780(4) Å, β = 99.73(4)°; V = 502.8(6) Å3; Z = 2. The strongest reflections of the powder X‑ray diffraction pattern (d Å, I, hkl) are 4.48, 35, 110; 3.70, 70, –112; 3.45, 44, 022; 2.608, 70, –201, 130; 2.580, 100, 200, –131; 2.241, 45, 220; 2.187, 80, –133. The holotype specimen is deposited in the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow catalogue no. 95894.
期刊介绍：
Geology of Ore Deposits is a periodical covering the topic of metallic and nonmetallic mineral deposits, their formation conditions, and spatial and temporal distribution. The journal publishes original scientific articles and reviews on a wide range of problems in theoretical and applied geology. The journal focuses on the following problems: deep geological structure and geodynamic environment of ore formation; distribution pattern of metallogenic zones and mineral deposits; geology and formation environment of large and unique metallic and nonmetallic deposits; mineralogy of metallic and nonmetallic deposits; physicochemical and isotopic characteristics and geochemical environment of ore deposition; evolution of ore-forming systems; radiogeology and radioecology, economic problems in exploring, developing, and mining of ore commodities.
