The sample is a 4-layer ferriphlogopite from the Ruiz Peak volcano, New Mexico. Structural refinement in the space group C2/c converges to R(obs)=6.3%. The formation of this polytype by spiral growth can be interpreted either as the result of the occurrence of a stacking fault in the exposed ledge of a 3T polytype or as a cell-twin formed by two 2M1 substructures. The formation of a non-MDO polytype from two substructures corresponding to MDO polytypes explains why the second and fourth layers of the polytype are meso-octahedral even if the space-group symmetry does not force the cis sites to be equivalent.
