Why does wikipedia have to find the worst way of writing a chemical formula?
For example Grunerite Fe7Si8O22(OH)2 - it's composed of Si2O11(-6) so it's rather like Fe7(Si2O11*OH)2 (as well as Fe7(Si2O11/OH)2 or Fe7(Si2O11)2(OH)2, as just to note you can't find anything for (Si8O22) only Si4O11(-6).

The
empirical formula used in the article matches that in my copy of Deer, Howie & Zussman "The rock forming minerals", and those in both the
Webmineral and
Mindat webpages - they all use (Si8O22).

Inexpertly, many Amphiboles have the following general chemical composition: (MO)7Q8W, i.e. composed of Mafic (Fe,Mg,Ca) oxides, Quartz, and Water.

For comparison to
Biotite, the general Amphibole formula may be re-written: (MO Q)7QW. Basically, Biotite replaces Q → (K Al O2), and incorporates more than twice as much W.
