Abstract/NotesAbstractA low-charge corrensite, i.e., a regular 1:1 interstratified smectite/chlorite was found in veins and fissures of an extensively fractured dolomite south of Perth, Ontario, Canada. Total chemical analysis indicated that the mineral was trioctahedral, having a structural formula corresponding to:
(Ca0.17)(Mg7.36Al0.90Fe3+ 0.45Fe2+ 0.42)VI(Si6.06Al1.94)IVO20(OH)10.The coefficient of variation (CV) of the d(00l) spacings calculated for the mineral from X-ray powder diffraction data was 0.42, well below the maximum recommended value for corrensite, 0.75. The corrensite coexists with phlogopite, which is present as small (~0.5 mm) crystals throughout the rock and locally as large (~5 cm) crystals in pegmatitic veins. Microscopic observatiofls of large phlogopite crystals partially altered to corrensite suggest that corrensite formed at the expense of phlogopite by hydrothermal alteration.
