…and chromium species are called volkonskoite. The ideal structural formula of trioctahedral ferromagnesian smectites, the series saponite through iron saponite, is given by (Mg, Fe²⁺)₃(Si_{4 - x}Al_x)O₁₀(OH)₂M+/x · nH₂O. The tetrahedral substitution is responsible for the net charge deficiency in the smectite minerals of
