Abstract The superposition model is used to attempt to explain the EPR spectrum of Fe3+ in spodumene (LiAlSi2O6). Two different models for the distortion of the local environment of Fe3+ are considered. If the local structure around Fe3+ is distorted toward that of its isomorphic compound LiFeSi2O6, it is possible to obtain an agreement between experimental data and calculated constants, only if it is considered that the values of $$\bar B_2$$ are different for the two non equivalent oxygens O1 and O2. A second model of local distortion of the structure, based on crystal chemical considerations, is proposed. With this model, it is possible to explain the EPR spectrum with a single value of $$\bar B_2$$ . It is seen that the local arrangement around isolated Fe3+ in spodumene may be different from that in LiAlSi2O6.
