Here, ringwoodite, γ-(Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄, in the lower 150 km of Earth’s mantle transition zone (410-660 km depth) can incorporate up to 1.5-2 wt% H₂O as hydroxyl defects. We present a mineral-specific IR calibration for the absolute water content in hydrous ringwoodite by combining results from Raman spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometery (SIMS) and proton-proton (pp)-scattering on a suite of synthetic Mg- and Fe-bearing hydrous ringwoodites. H₂O concentrations in the crystals studied here range from 0.46 to 1.7 wt% H₂O (absolute methods), with the maximum H₂O in the same sample giving 2.5 wt% by SIMS calibration. Anchoring our spectroscopic results to absolute H-atom concentrations from pp-scattering measurements, we report frequency-dependent integrated IR-absorption coefficients for water in ringwoodite ranging from 78180 to 158880 L mol^-1cm^-2, depending upon frequency of the OH absorption. We further report a linear wavenumber IR calibration for H₂O quantification in hydrous ringwoodite across the Mg₂SiO₄-Fe₂SiO₄ solid solution, which will lead to more accurate estimations of the water content in both laboratory-grown and naturally occurring ringwoodites. Re-evaluation of the IR spectrum for a natural hydrous ringwoodite inclusion in diamond from the study of the crystal contains 1.43 ± 0.27 wt% H₂O, thus confirming near-maximum amounts of H₂O for this sample from the transition zone.
