[001] HAADF-STEM images of charoite: (a) An overview. (b) Enlarged part of panel (a). The circular contrast has three stronger spots marked by arrowheads. The arch-like contrast has intense spots at both ends (left rectangle) and resembles part of the circular contrast (right rectangle). It is thought that the arch-like unit consists of two pectolite chains forming xonotlite dreier double chains with formula [Si6O17]10−. |
