Several{sup 17}O-enriched silicates were studied by use of dynamic angle spinning (DAS) and double rotation (DOR) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These methods average away second-order quadrupolar interactions by reorienting a sample about a time-dependent axis, thereby yielding high-resolution spectra of oxygen-17 nuclei. A narrow spectral line is observed for each distinct oxygen site at the sum of the isotropic chemical shift and the field-dependent isotropic second-order quadrupolar shift. Resolution is increased by up to 2 orders of magnitude compared to conventional magic angle spinning (MAS) spectra. Crystallographically inequivalent oxygen are now observable as distinct resonances in spectra of polycrystalline silicates such as diopside (CaMgSi{sub 2}{sup 17}O{sub 6}), wollastonite (CaSi{sup 17}O{sub 3}), larnite (Ca{sub 2}Si{sup 17}O{sub 4}), and forsterite (Mg{sub 2}Si{sup 17}O{sub 4}).
