A type of mineral. It is also called enstatite. Orthopyroxene (Mg,Fe)SiO 3 is a solid solution with MgSiO 3 (enstatite, En) and FeSiO 3 (ferrosilite, also known as iron silicate, Fs) as end members, and enstatite refers to a material with 100-90% En and 0-10% Fs, or a material rich in Mg with positive optical biaxiality (Fs is 0-12%). It generally contains small amounts of Ca (Ca/(Ca+Mg+Fe) is 0.05 or less) and Al. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
鉱物の一種。頑火輝石(がんかきせき)ともいう。斜方輝石(Mg,Fe)SiO3はMgSiO3(エンスタタイト,En)成分とFeSiO3(フェロシライトferrosilite,別名鉄ケイ石,Fs)成分を端成分とする固溶体であるが,エンスタタイトとはこのうちEn成分が100~90%,Fs成分が0~10%のもの,あるいはMgに富み光学性が正の二軸性のもの(Fsが0~12%)をいう。一般に少量のCa(Ca/(Ca+Mg+Fe)が0.05以下)やAlを含んでいる。
