Double wollastonite chains may occur in natural and synthetic compounds with various degrees of condensation, depending on the number of oxygen atoms shared between the two connected wollastonite chains: three (elpidite, epididymite), two (okenite), and one (xonotlite, clinotobermorite, tobermorite 11 Å and synthetic analogues)...
