Extract

During the course of a detailed X-ray study of chrysotile, antigorite, and gümbelite by E. Aruja we were asked to confirm some interesting results he had obtained on heating chrysotile to various temperatures. This we were able to do and also to provide additional data which were recently referred to in a paper by A. Hargreaves and W. H. Taylor. Although we have not succeeded in providing a completely satisfactory explanation of the optical changes observed on heating chrysotile our observations for a limited range of temperatures in the neighbourhood of 1000° C. are here recorded.
