An oxide mineral. It often occurs as elongated square pyramidal crystals with sharp angles. It is polymorphous with rutile and brookite. Compared to other similar pyramidal minerals, this mineral forms much elongated crystals, so its English name comes from the Greek word for elongation. It occurs in veins (so-called alpine veins) that cut through granitic pegmatites and metamorphic rocks, accompanied by quartz, muscovite, tourmaline, etc., and has a clear crystal shape. It also occurs in small amounts in various igneous and metamorphic rocks.

酸化鉱物の一つ。鋭い角度をなす長く伸びた四角錐状結晶をして産することが多い。金紅石および板チタン石と同質異像の関係にある。他の類似の四角錐状をなす鉱物に比較して、本鉱はずっと長く伸びた結晶をするため、英名は伸長を意味するギリシア語に由来する。花崗(かこう)岩質ペグマタイトおよび変成岩を切る脈(いわゆるアルパインベイン)中に、石英、白雲母(うんも)、電気石などに伴われ結晶形の明らかなものを産する。また各種火成岩や変成岩中にも少量ながら広く産する。 [松原 聰] [参照項目] | | | | | | | | | [補完資料] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
