Abstract: Fitted Mössbauer spectra are presented for a set of anthophyllites and gedrites. Despite their complexity it is possible to obtain fits for gedrite spectra and the Mössbauer parameters are consistent with results for anthophyllites from this and previous studies. At least three doublets are required to fit the Fe²⁺ absorption in gedrites; there is no single model at present to explain the behaviour of the spectra. Fe³⁺ absorption is also resolved.
