Abstract
AN investigation into the rare aluminosilicate mineral ferrierite1, (Na, K)4MgAl6Si30O722OH2O, has led to its crystal structure being proposed, which is based on the space group Immm and agrees reasonably with our X-ray powder data of 62 reflexions. After several cycles of least-squares refinement in which reflexions of zero intensity were included, an R(Fo) factor of 16.5 per cent was obtained corresponding to the co-ordinates in Table 1.
