A naasira terpentine from Quebec Province, of line grain rite and pat* buff colour, wa* need. No mineral impurities ore detected by X-ray diffraetioo. Tbe mineral appear* to b* a layered ftructere with eooriderabW atackmg disorder.

From tbe . lee* of weight compared with tbe maximum lorn at higher temperature*, it era* determined that tbe mineral vu about 90 % debydroxylated by thk treatment. X-ray diffraction data showed no rceidea! reffection* fron unreueted eerpentino and no detectable for*terit*. 8uboequent beat-treatment* were carnet! out in air in temperature-controlled furiiirr* at temperature* ranging from 55(7* to 900* C for period* ip to ICO boon. A few experiment* were earned out at Higher temperature* up to l WO* C to etody the formation of enatatite.
