Abstract

Guarinite" crystals, of composition Na _1.56Ca _11.13Zr _2.33Nb _0.07Mn _0.51Fe _0.40(Si ₂O ₇) ₄(O _3.31F _4.69), show extensive defective microstructural arrangements, deriving from the presence of domains with different unit-cells. The structural complexity of "guarinite" results from the variable arrangements of simple structural building units (i.e., Si ₂O ₇ groups), possibly shifted by c/2 within the framework of octahedra. Actually, [100] and [010] images acquired with a transmission electron microscope reveal ubiquitous lamellar microstructures. Interlocked irregular domains characterize the [001] projection.
