Abstract
The crystal structures of two clinopyroxenes related to the skarns from Santa Olalla (Huelva. Spain) have been refined. From these refinements it is shown that pyroxene SO-1 of metamorphic origin is almost pure diopside. whereas for pyroxene SO-2 of metasomatic origin the following formula CaMg 0.64 Fe 0,34 Si2 O6. was found. These clinopyroxenes show cation ordering.
