Abstract
The presence of very small amounts of Mn2+, V2+, and Fe3+ ions in zoisite can be easily detected by the electron paramagnetic resonance technique at room temperature. The Mn2+ and Fe3+ ions are completely ordered and are probably located in the Ca(1)- and Al(II)-sites, respectively, whereas the V2+ ions probably occupy both Ca(1)- and Ca(2)-sites, with a preference for the Ca(1)-site.Keywords
