Winchite from
Chalcis, Euboea, Central Greece, Greece


Locality type:Municipality
Classification
Species:Winchite
Formula:◻{CaNa}{Mg4Al}(Si8O22)(OH)2
Comments:Xypolias et al. (2012) presents a microprobe analysis from blueschist facies amphiboles from the Styria Nappe. The analysis corresponds to the following formula:

(Na0.362K0.032)0.394(Na0.991Ca0.825Mn2+0.067Fe2+0.117)2.00(Mg2.272Fe2+2.019Fe3+0.319Al0.39)5.00(Si7.888Al0.112)8.00O22(OH)2


F3+ and O content is calculated, and formula normalized in accordance with Andrew J. Locock (2014): An Excel spreadsheet to classify chemical analyses of amphiboles following the IMA 2012 recommendations. Computers & Geosciences, Volume 62, pp 1-11.
