One of the most common nitrate minerals. It grows as a film on the soil surface in dry climate regions and is used as a fertilizer. As its name suggests, there are large deposits in Chile, South America, where minerals such as copper, chromium, and iodine are sometimes present as secondary components. Although there have been no reports of euhedral formations, its atomic arrangement is the same as that of calcite. In Japan, it is known to grow in small amounts on the surface of tuff (Oya stone) in Oya, Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, in places not exposed to rainwater.

もっとも代表的な硝酸塩鉱物の一つ。乾燥気候地域の土壌表面に皮膜状をなして産し、肥料として用いられる。その名にあるように南米チリには大きな鉱床があり、鉱床中には、副成分として、銅、クロム、ヨウ素などの鉱物が存在することがある。自形の報告はないが、その原子配列は方解石と同構造である。日本では、栃木県宇都宮市大谷(おおや)の凝灰岩(大谷石)の表面に、雨水のかからない箇所で少量着生することが知られている。 [加藤 昭] [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 |
