The chemical composition of potassicarfvedsonite was obtained (fluorine and cations except Li) by a Camebax SX50 electron microprobe. Li was determined by atom emission using a Carl Zeiss AAS30 spectrophotometer. The water content was determined by the Alimarin method, a modified Penfield, with water absorption by Mg(ClO4)2. The Fe2+/ Fe3+ ratio was determined via Mössbauer spectroscopy. Single-crystal diffraction data were collected at room temperature using a Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer. X-ray powder diffraction data were obtained using a DRON UM-1 diffractometer and Fe-filtered CoKα-radiation
