Endmember

An endmember (also end-member or end member) in mineralogy is a mineral that is at the extreme end of a mineral series in terms of purity of its chemical composition. Minerals often can be described as solid solutions with varying compositions of some chemical elements, rather than as substances with an exact chemical formula. There may be two or more endmembers in a group or series of minerals.

For example, forsterite (Mg
2SiO
4) and fayalite (Fe
2SiO
4) are the two end-members of the olivine solid-solution series, varying in Mg2+
 and Fe2+
 in their chemical composition. So, the chemical formula of olivine can be better expressed as Mg(2−x)FexSiO4 or MgxFe(2−x)SiO4.

As another example, the tectosilicate feldspar can be described as a solid solution of the endmembers K-feldspar (KAlSi
3O
8), albite (NaAlSi
3O
8) and anorthite (CaAl
2Si
2O
8).[1] A specific feldspar can have varying quantities of potassium (K), sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca).
