Iron-Manganese Phosphates with the Olivine – and Alluaudite-Type Structures: Crystal Chemistry and Applications

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

Iron-manganese phosphates are common accessory minerals occurring in granitic pegmatites, in metamorphic rocks, and in meteorites. In rare-elements pegmatites, primary phosphates of the triphylite-lithiophilite series [Li(Fe2+,Mn2+)(PO4)-Li(Mn2+,Fe2+)(PO4)] form masses that can reach several meters in diameter, enclosed in silicates. During the oxidation processes affecting the pegmatites, these olivine-type phosphates progressively transform to ferrisicklerite-sicklerite [Li1-x(Fe3+,Mn2+)(PO4)-Li1-x(Mn2+,Fe3+)(PO4)] and to heterosite-purpurite [(Fe3+,Mn3+)(PO4)-(Mn3+,Fe3+)(PO4)], according to the substitution mechanism Li+ + Fe2+ ↔ □ + Fe3+.
