Nomenclature of pyroxenes.

TLDR
The Sous-Commission Pyroxenes creee par la Commission Nouveaux Mineraux et Noms de Mineraux (C.N.M.A) as discussed by the authors, who presente son rapport final sur la nomenclature des pyroxenes.
Abstract
La Sous-Commission Pyroxenes creee par la Commission Nouveaux Mineraux et Noms de Mineraux (C.N.M.M.N.) de l'Association Mineralogique Internationale (I.M.A.) presente son rapport final sur la nomenclature des pyroxenes. Les recommandations de la Sous-Commission proposees dans ce rapport ont ete officiellement acceptees par la Commission. Des noms acceptes et largement utilises ont ete definis chimiquement, combinant des methodes nouvelles et conventionnelles, de facon a etre en accord dans la mesure du possible avec l'usage actuel generalement admis. Vingt noms ont ete officiellement acceptes, parmi eux treize sont employes pour representer des poles purs de composition chimique bien determinee. Dans les solutions solides binaires ordinaires, les noms d'especes sont donnes par les termes extremes suivant la \"regle des 50%\". Des adjectifs modificatifs sont ajoutes aux noms des pyroxenes pour indiquer des quantites exceptionnelles de constituants chimiques. Ce rapport inclut une liste de 105 noms de pyroxene utilises precedemment, qui ont ete rejetes officiellement par la Commission.

Quantitative analysis of trace OH in garnet and pyroxenes

TL;DR: In this paper, the integral specific absorption coefficients of 1.39 ± 0.14 (lσ), 7.09======± 0.32, and 15.6 ± 0.94 /(ppm H_2O) for pyrope, augite, and enstatite were determined by manometry after heating the samples and extracting H 2 gas under vacuum.

Report of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA)–International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Joint Committee on Nomenclature

TL;DR: This article presented nomenclature recommendations resulting from a six-year study of problems common to the disciplines of mineralogy and crystallography, including definitions of polytypism, topotaxy, syntaxy, and epitaxy, certain criteria for mineral names, preferred format for chemical formulae, and preferred symbols for crystallographic axes and repeat distances.
