Pyroxferroite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyroxferroite (Fe +2 ,Mn,Ca)SiO 3 is a silicate of the pyroxene group with a triclinic crystal structure. It has a hardness between 4.5 and 5.5, and is yellowish in colour. Pyroxferroite was firs...

Samples of pyroxferroite were originally collected within Apollo XI mission rocks, and the mineral was described as a new species in 1970. Recent work on pyroxmangite [formula] and related species found at Franklin, New Jersey, unequivocally confirms the presence of the iron-analogue at the locality,

Synthetic Ca0.15Fe0.85SiO3 pyroxenoid has the same (pyroxmangite) structure and very nearly the same composition as pyroxferroite, a new mineral found in Apollo 11 lunar samples. The synthetic material is not stable below pressures of approximately 10 kilobars.

The reconstructed three-phase symplectite compositions plot close to lunar (metastable) pyroxferroite on the pyroxene quadrilateral diagram and indicate that pyroxene compositions ranged into the "forbidden region" and eventually crystallized pyroxferroite, which subsequently broke down to the three-phase symplectite...

Title:; Mössbauer spectra of synthetic Ca-Fe pyroxenoids and lunar pyroxferroite ... five sites and two sites in Ca0.15Fe0.85SiO3 (pyroxferroite); and five sites and four sites in FeSiO3 (ferrosolite III). Disorder of iron and calcium which exists in the two calcium-bearing pyroxenoids is not readily apparent in the spectra.
