A type of zeolite. It usually has a crystal shape of a rhombohedron or a combination of rhombohedrons and hexahedrons, but can also be in the form of a block. It cannot be distinguished from Wairakei zeolite with the naked eye, but when it coexists with quartz, it is usually Wairakei zeolite. It occurs in the gaps of basic volcanic rocks and tuffs together with sodalite, thomsonite, and apophyllite. It also forms veins in basic igneous rocks associated with ultrabasic rocks, coexisting with prehnite, sodalite, and thomsonite. It also occurs in veins that form zeolite rocks or cut through them. It also replaces fossils, forms veins in skarn, and occurs as megacrysts in nepheline syenite pegmatites. Its English name comes from the Greek word for weak, because its electrical properties are weak when heated or rubbed.

沸石の一種。普通、偏菱(りょう)二十四面体あるいはそれに六面体が加わった結晶形を示すが、塊状のこともある。ワイラケイ沸石とは肉眼的に区別できないが、石英と共存している場合にはたいていワイラケイ沸石である。塩基性火山岩や凝灰岩の空隙(くうげき)にソーダ沸石、トムソン沸石、魚眼石などと産する。また、超塩基性岩に伴う塩基性火成岩中に脈をなし、ぶどう石、ソーダ沸石、トムソン沸石などと共生する。また、沸石岩を構成したり、それを切る脈中にも産する。ほかに、化石を交代したり、スカルン中に脈をなしたり、霞(かすみ)石閃長(せんちょう)岩ペグマタイト中に巨晶を産したりする。熱や摩擦を加えたときの電気的性質が弱いので、英名は、弱いという意味のギリシア語に由来する。 [松原 聰] [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 |
