Pyroxene

The chain silicate structure of the pyroxenes offers much flexibility in the incorporation of various cations and the names of the pyroxene minerals are primarily defined by their chemical composition Pyroxene minerals are named according to the chemical species occupying the octahedral X or M1 and Y or M2 sites and the tetrahederal T site
