SiO2 with 6.07(5) wt% Al2O3 and 0.24(2) wt% H2O

Why this differs from similar rows?

Sample K324 (6.07 wt% Al2O3, 0.24 wt% H2O, synthesized 20 GPa/1800C/1h); different synthesis/composition batch from sibling sample K325.

Evidence from the paper

For the sample of stishovite containing 6.07(5) wt% Al2O3 and 0.24(2) wt% H2O we obtained: zero-pressure adiabatic bulk modulus, K_S0 = 290(3) GPa, and the shear modulus, G_S0 = 207(2) GPa, with a calculated density of rho = 4.16(1) g/cm3 based on X-ray diffraction. Table 4: Ks (GPa) 290(3); KT (GPa) 286(3) for K324.
