Augite - refers to the group of pyroxenes. By chemical composition and crystal structure belongs to chain-type silicates. Chemical composition. Changeable; calcium oxide (CaO) 16–20%, magnesium oxide (MgO) 11.5–17.5%, iron oxide (FeO) 5–10%, iron oxide (Fe2О3) 1.5–8%, aluminum oxide (Аl2О3 ) 4.5-7.8%, titanium oxide (TiO2) 0.2-1.25%, silicon dioxide (SiO2) 46-50.5%.
Cleavage. Prismatic; the angle between the cleavage planes is 87 and 89 °. Aggregates. Solid, grainy, dense, needle-shaped. P. tr. Melts in black glass. Behavior in acids. Only titanavgite is completely soluble in boiling hydrochloric acid. It is formed by crystallization from magmatic melts, as a rock-forming mineral of many igneous rocks. Under the influence of hydrothermal solutions, it passes into hornblende (uralite) or chlorite, during weathering - into free SiO2 oxides (opals), iron hydroxides, carbonates, as well as clay halloysite and nontronite products.
