Abstract
Within highly altered peridotite host rock in 'Rzanovo region, south of Kavadarci, big acicular, colorless crystals were found. X-ray powder diffraction pattern shows that this mineral is brucite. Crystals up to 80 cm in size were found in serpentinized ultrabasic rocks, within veins. Needles are perpendicular to vein walls.
Its unit cell is: a = 4.648, c =14.95 A(rhombohedral a =5.660 A, a= 48.49°) V 279.7 A3, Z 6 (rhombohedral 2).
Means of 4 sets of microprobe data combined with thermogravimetric measurement of H20 yield in complete analysis: MgO 61.460, PeO 1.490, MnO 0.316, CaO 0.152, Na20 2.310, K20 0.102, Si02, 1.840, AI20) 3.230, H20
