Chopinite, [(Mg,Fe)(3)square](PO4)(2), a new mineral isostructural with sarcopside, from a fluorapatite segregation in granulite-facies paragneiss, Larsemann Hills, Prydz Bay, East Antarctica
Chopinite, the Mg-dominant analogue of sarcopside, is a new mineral corresponding to synthetic Mg3(PO4)2- II, a high-pressure polymorph of the meteoritic mineral farringtonite. A representative electron-microprobe analysis is SiO2 0.32, P2O5 47.32, Al2O3
