Omphacite is the solid solution of Fe-bearing diopside (CaMgSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>) and jadeite (NaAlSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>). Depending on how much the coupled substitution of (Na, Al)-(Mg-Fe, Ca) happens, the [[chemical composition]] of omphacite varies continuously from pure diopside to pure jadeite.<ref name=":1" /> Due to the relatively small radius of (Na, Al) atoms, the [[Unit Cell|unit cell]] volume linearly decreases as jadeite component increases.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last1=Pandolfo|first1=Francesco|last2=Cámara|first2=Fernando|last3=Domeneghetti|first3=M.

Although omphacite is the solid solution of [[diopside]] and [[jadeite]], its [[space group]] may be different with them. The space group of diopside and jadeite is C2/c. However, omphacite can show both P2/n and C2/c space group. At low temperature, the partial coupled substitution of (Na, Al)-(Mg-Fe, Ca) in omphacite orders the atoms in the unit cell and makes omphacite shows a relatively low symmetry space group P2/n.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Skelton|first1=Richard|last2=Walker|first2=Andrew M.|date=2015|title=The effect of cation order on the elasticity of omphacite from atomistic calculations|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s00269-015-0754-9|journal=Physics and Chemistry of Minerals|language=en|volume=42|issue=8|pages=677–691|doi=10.1007/s00269-015-0754-9|bibcode=2015PCM....42..677S|s2cid=92245503|issn=1432-2021}}</ref> As temperature increases, the movements of the atoms increase and finally the coupled substitution will not influence the order of the structure. When temperature reaches ~700-750700–750 °C, the structure of omphacite becomes totally disordered and the space group will transform to C2/c.<ref name=":0" /> Natural omphacite may show C2/c structure even at room temperature if the omphacite crystal went through fast temperature decreasing.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bhagat|first1=Snehal S.|last2=Bass|first2=Jay D.|last3=Smyth|first3=Joseph R.|date=1992|title=Single-crystal elastic properties of omphacite-C2/c by Brillouin spectroscopy|url=https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/92JB00030|journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth|language=en|volume=97|issue=B5|pages=6843–6848|doi=10.1029/92JB00030|bibcode=1992JGR....97.6843B|issn=2156-2202}}</ref>
 
Although the atomic positions in the two space groups have a subtle difference, it doesn'tdoes not clearly change the physical properties of omphacite.<ref name=":1" /> The absolute [[Unit Cell|unit cell volumes]] are a little different for the two different space group, the compressibility and [[thermal expansion]] doesn'tdoes not show obviously different within experimental uncertainties.<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Hao|first1=Ming|last2=Zhang|first2=Jin S.|last3=Pierotti|first3=Caroline E.|last4=Ren|first4=Zhiyuan|last5=Zhang|first5=D.|date=2019|title=High-Pressure Single-Crystal Elasticity and Thermal Equation of State of Omphacite and Their Implications for the Seismic Properties of Eclogite in the Earth's Interior|journal=Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth|language=en|volume=124|issue=3|pages=2368–2377|doi=10.1029/2018JB016964|bibcode=2019JGRB..124.2368H|issn=2169-9356|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Nishihara|first1=Yu|last2=Takahashi|first2=Eiichi|last3=Matsukage|first3=Kyoko|last4=Kikegawa|first4=Takumi|date=2003|title=Thermal equation of state of omphacite|url=https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/msa/ammin/article-abstract/88/1/80/43805/Thermal-equation-of-state-of-omphacite|journal=American Mineralogist|language=en|volume=88|issue=1|pages=80–86|doi=10.2138/am-2003-0110|bibcode=2003AmMin..88...80N|s2cid=101319641|issn=0003-004X}}</ref>
