I have started adding to the pyroxenes and could use some guidence on the best way to proceed on all the solid solution series. This is clearly a huge group and there will be a lot of repatition if each mineral has its own page. What I sugest is that each serese gets its own page (e.g. the Enstatite - Ferrosilite series, the diopside - hedenbergite series etc) Each page can then cover the geology and mineraology in a consistent way. If this sounds like a sensible option do we need redirects from each minerals page to a new page for the series. Your thoughts please! - andreww 8/12/2004
- Sounds like a sensible approach to me. I've just re-organized the pyroxenes a bit in Silicate minerals. Hope this can help your project. Modelled after Hurlbut, Cornelius S.; Klein, Cornelis, 1985, Manual of Mineralogy, 20th ed.
Three basic series to work with, plus a couple of odd ones: (Pigeonite & Spodumene) - Enstatite - orthoferrosilite series
- Diopside - hedenbergite series
- Sodium pyroxene series
- also the Pyroxenoid group if your still going :-)
