Volume 5 of Reviews in Mineralogy emphasizes the crystal chemistry and related physical
properties of the major rock-forming orthosilicates. Though in some chapters more attention is
given to phase equilibria and paragenesis than in others these are for the most part cursorily
treated with references to the more important papers and to review articles (also see Deer
Howie and Zussman 1962 Rock-forming Minerals Vol. 1 Ortho- and Ring Silicates).
