Abstract
Recent work on the pyrope-grossular and almandine grossular solid solution series has shown that at concentrations of Ca up to 15mol.% the garnets show negative excess volumes and negative excess free energies of mixing. It has been suggested that this results from a change in structure caused by Ca ordering. This note describes a preliminary X-ray study of such a garnet and concludes that there is a structural change, possibly to space group I 213, caused by Ca substitution and that further work must be done to see if this is caused by ordering.
