For each mine we calculated the medium value of lattice parameter.
For each mine we calculated the medium value of chemical analyses
(analysed 20 point ) by EMPA (Cameca CX 827).
Mn, Se, F, AND Rb are under detection limits except in few cases.
Li and Be are not determined
Chemical analyses have been normalized at 85%
H2O was determined by EA 1108 Carlo Erba ( gas cromatographer).
