pyroxene (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A major class of silicate minerals and its members which include about twenty mineral species, among them diopside, rhodonite, jadeite. Pyroxenes are found in many igneous and metamorphic rocks. They are distinguished from the second major class of silicate minerals, amphiboles, by their cleavage planes, characterized by prismatic cleavage at nearly 90 degrees, and a structure of single chains of SiO4 tetrahedra as distinct from amphiboles' double chains.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Grote klasse van silicaatmineralen die ongeveer twintig soorten mineralen bevat, waaronder diopsied, rhodoniet en jadeïet. Pyroxenen komen voor in veel stollings- en metamorfe gesteenten. Ze onderscheiden zich van de tweede grote klasse silicaatmineralen, de amfibolen, door hun splijtingsvlakken. Ze hebben een prismatische splijting van bijna 90 graden en een structuur van enkelvoudige ketens van SiO4-viervlakken, terwijl amfibolen dubbele ketens hebben. |
