A type of mineral. Also called perovskite. Chemical composition: CaTiO 3 . Orthorhombic crystal system. Usually rounded hexahedrons. Black, brown, or reddish brown. Transparent to opaque, with a diamond or metallic luster. Mohs hardness: 5.5. Specific gravity: 3.98-4.26. Colorless striations. Perovskite reacts with silica to produce titanite. Therefore, perovskite occurs as an accessory mineral in rocks that do not contain quartz, such as ultramafic and alkaline rocks. It also occurs in limestone in contact metamorphic zones. In Japan, it occurs in Nuka, Okayama Prefecture. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
鉱物の一種。灰チタン石ともいう。化学組成CaTiO3。斜方晶系。ふつう丸みをもった六面体。黒,褐,赤褐色。透明ないし不透明,ダイヤモンドないし金属光沢。モース硬度5.5。比重3.98~4.26。条痕は無色。ペロフスカイトはシリカと反応してチタン石を生じる。したがって,ペロフスカイトは超塩基性岩,アルカリ岩など石英を含まない岩石の副成分鉱物として産出する。また,接触変成帯の石灰岩中にも産出する。日本では岡山県布賀に産出する。
