Mineral name. Also called nepheline. Its chemical composition is (Na,K)AlSiO 4 , with up to 25 mol% KAlSiO 4. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system and forms hexagonal or dodecagonal columnar crystals, but is often granular or lumpy. It is white, gray, or light brown, or rarely colorless, with a vitreous luster. Specific gravity 2.56-2.67, Mohs hardness 5.5-6. It is a type of rock-forming mineral characteristic of alkaline igneous rocks, and occurs together with feldspars in rocks such as nepheline basalt and nepheline feldspar. It is rarely found in Japan, but it is found in basalt distributed on the coast of the Hamada region of Shimane Prefecture. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
鉱物名。カスミ(霞)石ともいう。化学成分は(Na,K)AlSiO4で,KAlSiO4は25mol%まで含む。六方晶系に属し,六角または十二角柱状結晶となるが,粒状や塊状であることが多い。白色,灰色,淡褐色,まれに無色でガラス光沢がある。比重2.56~2.67,モース硬度5.5~6。アルカリ火成岩の特徴的な造岩鉱物の一種でカスミ石玄武岩,カスミ石セン長岩などの岩石に長石類とともに産出する。国内ではその産出はまれであるが,島根県浜田地方の海岸に分布する玄武岩中に存在する。
