The prismatic variety of fluoro-edenite, a new amphibole found in lavas from Mt Etna in Biancavilla (Catania Province, Sicily, Italy), has been characterized by µ-Raman and µ-FTIR spectroscopy. The wavenumbers at which the bands are detected in the µ-Raman and µ-FTIR spectra are compared with tremolite, asbestos the chemical and crystallographic characteristics of which are very similar to those of fluoro-edenite.

KEYWORDS: Raman spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, fluoro-edenite, tremolite
