The aluminosilicate garnet binaries almandine-pyrope and almandine-spessartine were studied by powder X-ray and  57 Fe Mössbauer methods. Refinements of the unit-cell con­stants along the almandine-pyrope join show that the volumes of mixing are ideal. Those of the almandine-spessartine join show very small positive deviations from ideality, which can be fitted with a symmetric model having an interaction parameter of W v  = 0.24 (±0.05) cm 3 /mol. Mössbauer spectra recorded at 298 and 77 K show the presence of small amounts| of  [6] Fe 3+ . which in the case of almandine-pyrope garnets is also measurable from micro­probe analyses. The amount of Fe 3+  is generally less than 3.5% of the total Fe for the almandine-pyrope garnets and 1-2% for almandine-spessartine garnets. The molar volumes of mixing of the aluminosilicate garnet binaries are interpreted using a crystal-chemical model involving rigid tetrahedral rotation. The degree of tetrahedral rotation is not linear with increasing size of the divalent X-site cation for the four common aluminosilicate garnet end-members or along the solid solution binary pyrope-grossular. The vibrational entropies of mixing should be positively correlated with the volumes of mixing in the case of garnet, but the masses of the X-site cations must also be considered. The phonon density of states at low energies should show the vibrations of the weakly bonded divalent cations and rigid-unit modes related to tetrahedral rotation. Positive excess vibrational entropies of mixing along a binary could result from increased amplitudes and lower frequencies of vibration of the smaller of the two X-site cations substituting within larger and more distorted dodecahedral sites, as compared to the X site in the smaller volume end-member.
