It is an iron sulfide mineral. It is said to be in a homomorphic relationship with pyrite, but the stability relationship is unclear. It occurs in shallow to deep hydrothermal deposits and fumarolic deposits, and can form nodules in sedimentary rocks. It has a very similar appearance to pyrite, but is rarer. It is idiomorphic and obliquely prismatic. It often forms pyrite pseudocrystals. In Japan, it is known from the Oppu Mine (closed) in Nishimeya Village, Nakatsugaru County, Aomori Prefecture, and the Matsuo Mine (closed) in Matsuo Village, Iwate County, Iwate Prefecture (now Matsuo, Hachimantai City). Its English name is said to come from the Arabic (one theory is Moorish) word for pyrite.

硫化鉄鉱物のひとつ。黄鉄鉱と同質異像関係にあるといわれるが、安定関係は明らかでない。浅~深熱水性鉱床、噴気性鉱床中などに産し、堆積(たいせき)岩中に団塊をなすこともある。黄鉄鉱に非常によく似た外観をもつが、これよりまれである。自形は斜方柱状。黄鉄鉱仮晶をなすことも多い。日本では、青森県中津軽郡西目屋(にしめや)村の尾太(おっぷ)鉱山(閉山)、岩手県岩手郡松尾村(現、八幡平(はちまんたい)市松尾)の松尾鉱山(閉山)などに知られる。英名はアラビア語(一説にムーア語)で黄鉄鉱をさしていた語に由来するものといわれる。 [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 |
