The single-crystal elastic properties of Ca 0.07 Mg 1.93 Si 2 O 6  orthopyroxene (space group Pbca) have been investigated by Brillouin spectroscopy at ambient conditions. The aggregate bulk and shear moduli, K 0,S  = 102.5 GPa (1.5) and μ = 74.2 GPa (1.1), respectively, are ~5% and ~3% lower than commonly accepted values for MgSiO 3  end-member (K 0,S  = 107.6, μ = 76.8 GPa). These results indicate that the incorporation of small amount of Ca in the orthoenstatite structure does not greatly affect its elastic properties. As a consequence, the increase in bulk modulus reported in natural orthopyroxenes relative to the Mg-end-member is not related to the substitution of Ca in the M2 octahedral sites, but more probably to the substitution of Al in tetrahedral sites.
