Pyrokseeneihin
Pyrokseeneihin is a Finnish term referring to pyroxenes, a group of inosilicate minerals. These minerals are essential components of many igneous and metamorphic rocks found in the Earth's crust and upper mantle. The general chemical formula for pyroxenes is XY(Si,Al)2O6, where X and Y are typically divalent cations such as magnesium, iron, manganese, calcium, sodium, or lithium.
Pyroxenes are characterized by their single-chain silicate structure, which distinguishes them from the double-chain silicates of
The pyroxene group is further divided into several important mineral series based on their chemical composition.
Pyroxenes play a significant role in understanding geological processes. Their presence and composition in rocks provide
