Serpentinitic veins consisting of associated chrysotile and well crystallized lizardite were extensively sampled in the Monte Fico quarries, Elba Island, Italy.The veins are mostly formed ofeuhedral lizardite-IT. After optical, IR and X-ray characterization, the specimens were studied by transmission electron microscopy. TEM provides evidence for the occurrence of chrysotile, poly gonal serpentine and lizardite, with microstructural relations pointing to a continuous recrystallization from chry sotile to polygonal serpentine and to lizardite. No major fault structure occurs in lizardite. Chemical data indicate the existence of a compositional gap between lizardite [mean composition (Mg2. 79Fe2+o. o9 Fe3+o. o7Alo. o7) Σ= 3.02 (Sii. 9iAlo. o9) Σ= 2. oo O5 (OH) 3.9 o] and chrysotile [mean composition (Mg2. 8oFeo. nAlo. o6) Σ= 2.97 Si2. oo O5 (0H) 4] with lizardite systematically enriched in aluminum and iron with respect to chrysotile. Therefore, the two minerals should no longer be considered as polymorphs.
