It is the main component of bauxite. It occurs as a soil mineral or a low-temperature hydrothermal mineral, and forms euhedral crystals in the shape of hexagonal plates. It also forms massive or membrane-like nodules. It is in a homotetramorphic relationship with bayerite, nordstrandite, and doyleite (chemical formula δ (delta)-Al(OH) 3 ). Gibbsite itself has a polymorphic triclinic phase in addition to the commonly seen monoclinic phase. In Japan, a bauxite-like substance develops on the andesite plateau of Yashima, Kagawa Prefecture, and nodular substances can occur in Quaternary sediments, and in the Nippyo mine in Tochigi Prefecture, they form thin veins in recrystallized chert. It was named after the American mineral collector George Gibbs (1777-1834).

ボーキサイトの主成分鉱物。土壌鉱物あるいは低温熱水生成鉱物として産し、六角板状の自形結晶をなす。また塊状、皮膜状の団塊を形成する。バイエル石、ノルドストランド石、ドイル石doyleite(化学式δ(デルタ)-Al(OH)3)と同質四像関係にある。ギブス石自身についても、普通にみられる単斜相のほかに多型関係にある三斜相がある。日本では、香川県屋島の安山岩台地の上にボーキサイト類似のものが発達するほか、団塊状のものは第四紀の堆積(たいせき)物中に産することがあり、栃木県日瓢(にっぴょう)鉱山では再結晶チャート中に細脈をなす。アメリカの鉱物収集家ギブスGeorge Gibbs(1777―1834)にちなんで命名された。 [加藤 昭 2016年3月18日] [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 |
