(2001) augmented Bermans data by data for components of chlorite (amesite = [Mg.sub.4][Al.sub.2][Al.sub.2][Si.sub.2][O.sub.10]][(OH).sub.8], daphnite = [Fe.sub.5]Al[Al[Si.sub.3][O.sub.10]][(OH).sub.8]) and potassic white mica (pyrophyllite = [Al.sub.2][[Si.sub.4][O.sub.10]][(OH).sub.2], Mg-Al-celadonite = KAlMg[[Si.sub.4][O.sub.10]][(OH).sub.2], Fe-Al-celadonite = KAlFe[[Si.sub.4][O.sub.10]][(OH).sub.2]) and corresponding activity models for both phases.

(2001) showed a strong scatter when those with pyrophyllite component in potassic white mica and amesite component in chlorite (see equilibria 1 and 2) were considered.

For a few years now we have been seeing scattered specimens with carpets of purple amesite crystals coating seam linings in massive black chromite, and brilliant crystals of deep green chromian titanite, in some cases resting lightly on the amesite carpets, from the Saranovskoe chromium mine in the Middle Urals of Russia.

Mineralogists of the 19th century were much more successful in the description of new layer hydrosilicates: allophane, amesite, antigorite, aspidolite, batavite, biotite /a series name/, celadonite, chamosite, chrysotile /a series name/, clinochlore, corundophyllite, cronstedtite, delessite, diabantite, ephesite, glauconite /a series name/, halloysite, kaolinite, muscovite, nacrite /a polytype/, nontronite, palygorskite, paragonite, penninite /or pennine/, phengite /a series name/, phlogopite, polylithionite, pyrophyllite, ripidolite, roscoelite, saponite, sauconite, sepiolite, serpentine, siderophyllite, stevensite, tainiolite, thuringite, vermiculite /trioctahedral and dioctahedral, distinguished in the 20th century/, volkonskoite, zinnwaldite /a series name/.

Clay minerals including related phyllosilicates: interdisciplinary research and inward integration

Most interesting, and not so beauty-challenged after all, were a few cabinet-sized matrix specimens with glistening pale purple coverages of chromian amesite crystals, from the Saranoskii mine in the Urals.

Additionally, bright lilac to purple chromian amesite crystals (to 4 mm) were available in nearly pure groups (to several cm), sometimes with associated titanite or clinochlore.
