Molybdenite

Japanese: 輝水鉛鉱 - きすいえんこう(英語表記)molybdenite
Molybdenite

The most important ore mineral of molybdenum. Two polymorphs, hexagonal and trigonal, are known. It occurs in high-temperature or pneumatic vein deposits in acidic plutonic rocks, contact metasomatic deposits (skarn-type deposits), metamorphosed stratified manganese deposits, etc., and appears in quartz veins and skarns along with tungsten, tin, bismuth, and sulfide minerals. Its euhedral shape is hexagonal plate-like, but there is also so-called pylon molybdenite, which is composed of fine crystals. However, it has been found that some of it is a compound in the form of MoCS. There is also a molybdenite-like phase containing small amounts of Cu (copper) and Fe (iron). It is characterized by low hardness and cleavage. Amorphous MoS 2 is a different mineral called Jordisite.

モリブデンのもっとも重要な鉱石鉱物。六方型・三方型の2種類の多型が知られている。酸性深成岩中の高温ないし気成鉱脈鉱床、接触交代鉱床(スカルン型鉱床)、変成層状マンガン鉱床中などに産し、タングステン、スズ、ビスマス(蒼鉛(そうえん))の鉱物、硫化鉱物などとともに石英脈中、スカルン中に出現する。自形は六角板状であるが、微細結晶からなる、いわゆる土壌輝水鉛鉱もある。ただしその一部はMoCSという形の化合物であるらしいことが判明している。また、少量のCu(銅)やFe(鉄)を含む輝水鉛鉱類似相もある。低硬度、劈開(へきかい)などが特徴。非晶質MoS2はヨルディス鉱Jordisiteとよばれる別鉱物。
