Awaruite (English spelling)

Japanese: アワル鉱 - アワルこう(英語表記)awaruite
Awaruite (English spelling)
A mineral with a chemical composition of almost Ni 3 Fe. It is rarely found in serpentinite (Oko, Nankoku City, Kochi Prefecture, Mineoka, Awa District, Chiba Prefecture). Most are found under a microscope, have a cubic crystal system, Mohs hardness of 5, and specific gravity of 8. When olivine is transformed into serpentine, it is thought that as divalent iron becomes magnetite Fe 3 O 4 , water is decomposed to produce hydrogen, which liberates Ni and Fe contained in either olivine or pentlandite, or both, to form an alloy. As an indicator of the reduction state, it is a particularly important mineral when considering the amount and nature of water involved in serpentinization.

Japanese:
化学組成がほぼNi3Feである鉱物。蛇紋岩中にまれに見いだされる(高知県南国市岡豊(おこう),千葉県安房郡嶺岡)。多くは顕微鏡的に見いだされ,等軸晶系,モース硬度5,比重8である。カンラン石の蛇紋石化の際,2価の鉄が磁鉄鉱Fe3O4となるのに伴って,水が分解されて生じた水素によって,カンラン石とペントランド鉱のいずれか,または両者に含まれていたNiとFeが遊離して合金を作ったものと考えられる。還元状態の指示者として,蛇紋石化に関与した水の量・性格を考える際,とくに重要な鉱物である。
