Ima, R110130 - RRUFF Database: Raman, X-ray, Infrared, and Chemistry

Important Update News

The RRUFF Project is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at RRUFF.net. New data is only being added to the beta site. Please note that it is in development, and some components are not functional. Existing RRUFF.info links will resolve to the new site after RRUFF.net is officially released.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

Pyroxene R110130

Name: Pyroxene
RRUFF ID: R110130
Ideal Chemistry:
Locality: Little Deer Creek eclogite, Skagit County, Washington, USA
