A compositional gap between sepiolite and palygorskite has long been accepted even though they have similar structures, but recent studies found that such a gap does not exist and that the compositional series is continuous between them. If this is true, intergrowths between these two minerals should exist. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the existence of sepiolite-palygorskite intergrowths in all possible proportions, in order to establish the compositional links between…
