Abstract—Chromceladonite in chromitites of the Southern Sarany chromium deposit (the Urals) occurs in two mineral associations: as crusts of acicular grains on uvarovite crystals and in thin-scale aggregates together with quartz and chlorite in brecciated zones developed after chromitites. The chemical composition of chromceladonite (wt %) is K2O 9.4, MgO 6.8, Cr2O3 17.1, SiO2 51.7, Al2O3 8.5, CaO 0.1, FeO 0.2, H2O+ 5.7. The sum is 99.7. Empirical formula: K0.82(Cr0.93Mg0.70 ⋅ Al0.25Ti0.05Fe0.01)Σ1.94[(Si3.56Al0.44)Σ4.00(O9.39OH0.61)Σ10(OH)2. Parameters of an elementary sell: a = 5.271(5), b = 9.015(6), c = 10.171(7) Å, β = 101.82(8)°, V = 475(1) Å3. The formation temperature of celadonite is as high as 300°C. A source of potassium for chromceladonite can be both country black shales and phlogopite-bearing rocks of the Southern Sarany massif.
