A type of mineral. Its chemical composition is MgO, but some Mg is replaced by Fe2 + . It has a cubic crystal system. It is mainly octahedral, usually rounded granular shape. It is colorless or off-white, but if it contains Fe it is yellow or yellowish brown. It is transparent and has a vitreous luster. Its Mohs hardness is 5.5. Its specific gravity is 3.56. Its streaks are white. It is formed by the thermal decomposition of dolomite CaMg( CO3 ) 2 during high-temperature contact metamorphism, so periclase occurs in recrystallized dolomitic limestone. However, it is a rare mineral in nature, as it easily changes to brucite or hydrous magnesium carbonate. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
鉱物の一種。化学組成はMgOであるがMgはFe2+により一部置換されているものがある。等軸晶系。主として八面体,ふつう丸みをもった粒状。無色,灰白色,Feを含むものは黄色ないし黄褐色。透明,ガラス光沢。モース硬度5.5。比重3.56。条痕は白色。高温の接触変成作用によってドロマイトCaMg(CO3)2が熱分解して生成するので,ペリクレースは再結晶したドロマイト質石灰岩中に産する。しかし,容易にブルーサイトあるいは含水炭酸マグネシウムに変化するので,天然にはまれな鉱物である。
