The diopside occurs as isolated crystals enclosed in feldspars. The aegirine occurs along with late hydrous minerals in pore spaces. The zoned pyroxenes occur as discrete cryatals with wide rims growing interstitially between feldspar laths and show a continuous composition-al trend from diopside through hedenbergite and aegirine-augite to aegirine or titanian aegirine. The pyroxenes enclosed in feldspars and the cores of the zoned crystals have nearly same chemical composition. The late stage pyroxenes are characterized by extreme enrichment of sodium and sometimes titanium. The titanian aegirines studied hera are characterized by the predominance of the Na(Fe2+, Mg)0.5Ti0.5Si2O6 component over other Ti-bearing pyroxene components. The compositional trend of clinopyroxenes from the Hirata hybrid rocks follows a typical trend of peralkalne rocks. The peralkaline neture of the Hirata samples is a result of compositional change of magma accompanied by the metasomatic skarn formation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HenmiChiyoko en-aut-sei=Henmi en-aut-mei=Chiyoko kn-aut-name=逸見千代子 kn-aut-sei=逸見 kn-aut-mei=千代子 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KusachiIsao en-aut-sei=Kusachi en-aut-mei=Isao kn-aut-name=草地功 kn-aut-sei=草地 kn-aut-mei=功 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KagetamaTatsuya kn-aut-sei=Kagetama kn-aut-mei=Tatsuya aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Earth Sciences, School of Education, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Shinagawa Refractories Co., Ltd. en-keyword=aegirine kn-keyword=aegirine en-keyword=aegirine-augite kn-keyword=aegirine-augite en-keyword=diopside kn-keyword=diopside en-keyword=pyroxene kn-keyword=pyroxene en-keyword=hybrid rock kn-keyword=hybrid rock en-keyword=skarn kn-keyword=skarn END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=7 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=19 end-page=20 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2000 dt-pub=20000920 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Native gold from Mikawa mine, Niigata Prefecture, Japan kn-title=新潟県東蒲原郡三川村三川鉱山産の自然金 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Native gold was found at Mikawa mine, Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The mineral was associated with quartz in a druse within quartz-vein in propyrite. The crystals were formed in filiform, reticulated and dendritic shapes with about 1 mm length with 0.1 mm width and 0.05 mm thickness. Very malleable and ductile, opaque and yellow with metallic luster. Qualitative and semi-quantiative analyses were performed by the wavelength dispersive EPMA. Quantitatively, the crystals contained Au, Ag and Hg. Semi-quantitative analyses were executed with ZAF correction algorithm. The results showed that these specimens had a average chemical composition Au0.77 Ag0.11Hg0.12. This specimen was archived at our site with a collection number ESO-M01001. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamakawaJunji en-aut-sei=Yamakawa en-aut-mei=Junji kn-aut-name=山川純次 kn-aut-sei=山川 kn-aut-mei=純次 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanabeMitsuo en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Mitsuo kn-aut-name=田邊満雄 kn-aut-sei=田邊 kn-aut-mei=満雄 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimadaKazumasa en-aut-sei=Shimada en-aut-mei=Kazumasa kn-aut-name=島田和昌 kn-aut-sei=島田 kn-aut-mei=和昌 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HenmiChiyoko en-aut-sei=Henmi en-aut-mei=Chiyoko kn-aut-name=逸見千代子 kn-aut-sei=逸見 kn-aut-mei=千代子 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Earth Science, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Mineral and Fossi club affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Mineral and Fossi club affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Earth Science, Faculty of Science, Okayama University en-keyword=Native Gold kn-keyword=Native Gold en-keyword=Mikawa Mine kn-keyword=Mikawa Mine en-keyword=electrum kn-keyword=electrum en-keyword=ESO-M01001 kn-keyword=ESO-M01001 END
