I have started adding to the pyroxenes and could use some guidence on the best way to proceed on all the solid solution series. This is clearly a huge group and there will be a lot of repatition if each mineral has its own page. What I sugest is that each serese gets its own page (e.g. the Enstatite - Ferrosilite series, the diopside - hedenbergite series etc) Each page can then cover the geology and mineraology in a consistent way. If this sounds like a sensible option do we need redirects from each minerals page to a new page for the series. Your thoughts please! - andreww 8/12/2004

Sounds like a sensible approach to me. I've just re-organized the pyroxenes a bit in Silicate minerals. Hope this can help your project. Modelled after Hurlbut, Cornelius S.; Klein, Cornelis, 1985, Manual of Mineralogy, 20th ed.
Three basic series to work with, plus a couple of odd ones: (Pigeonite & Spodumene)
Enstatite - orthoferrosilite series
Diopside - hedenbergite series
Sodium pyroxene series
also the Pyroxenoid group if your still going :-)

Error in ternary diagram

edit

Posted by 66.31.245.69 to the main article page, moved here by User:nneonneo

IMPORTANT NOTE: The ternary diagram here of the pyroxene group is incorrect; it lists Hedenbergite as FeCaSi2O, when really it is FeCaSi2O6. I Don't know how to correct this without creating a whole new picture file, so if whoever made this could please correct that, it would be nice to have proper mineral formulas. Thank you.

Corrected and converted to SVG. Thanks for noticing it. nneonneo talk 02:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
