Abstract

Tirodite, the yellow manganiferous amphibole, described first by DUNN & ROY [1938] from metamorphosed manganese formations at Tirodi, Madhya Pradesh, India, has been studied in detail. Earlier workers related this mineral either to richterite or to cummingtonite. Determination of optical properties, X-ray powder data and interpretation of chemical analyses of the mineral from different localities indicate that the composition of tirodite (MnO 2.84 to 13.83%) varies fairly widely within the complete chemical series between tremolite and richterite. The tirodites were found either in an alkali-rich environment in pegmatites which assimilated part of the manganese formation they cut across, or in manganese silicate rocks themselves that have been subjected to soda-metasomatism.
