About Pedrizite Root Name Group
Formula:
ALi2(LiZ2+2Z3+2)(Si8O22)(OH,F,Cl)2
The pedrizite minerals are lithium amphiboles defined with:
A(Na+K+2Ca)> 0.5 apfu and
ZLi > 0,5 apfu
Note that the distribution of Z2+ and Z3+ (= IMA C2+ and C3+) is not a part of the definiion of the group.
The individual members of the group are identified based on the dominant elements in the A, Z2+, Z3+ and W positions.
The root-name mineral, pedrizite are defined with Na, Mg, Al and (OH) as the dominant elements. Minerals with other dominant elements are named with pre-fixes in accordance with the guidelines establised in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature.
On mindat.org we avoid using variables with the same symbol as elements and deviate from the IMA nomenclaure in that we use X rather than B, Z rather than C and (OH,F,Cl,O) rather than W.
