About HoriiteHide

Dr Hidemichi Hori
Formula:
Ba2Mn2Mn4Ti2(Si2O7)2(PO4)2O2(OH)2
Colour:
orange, pale-ochre
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
4 - 5
Specific Gravity:
4.08 (Calculated)
Crystal System:
Triclinic
Name:
After mineralogist Dr. Hidemichi Hori (1934-2019). In addition to contributing to the discovery of five new minerals, Hori-san established and managed the Mineral Society and published many books to widely disseminate the appeal of minerals, and directly and indirectly nurtured many stone lovers and the next generation of mineralogists.
Chemically resembles yoshimuraite.

Although the crystal structure of horiite is partially related to that of yoshimuraite, it represents a new structural type. Consequently, according to the nomenclature concept of the seidozerite supergroup, the crystal structure of horiite is identified as the fifth basic structure within the bafertisite group. Horiite is the only species among more than 50 in the seidozerite supergroup that contains species defining Mn-occupied sites in the I block.

Type Occurrence of HoriiteHide

Type Locality:
ⓘ Taguchi mine, Shitara, Kitashitara County, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
General Appearance of Type Material:
thin, elongated plates with long axes up to 300 µm in length and 20 µm in thickness. They are closely layered and tend to aggregate, sometimes forming aggregates with hejtmanite.
Place of Conservation of Type Material:
the collections of the National Museum of Nature and Science,
4-1-1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-0005, Japan, specimen number NSM-M53164
Geological Setting of Type Material:
The Taguchi mine is a manganese deposit associated with pelitic gneiss within the Ryoke metamorphic belt. The deposit has undergone low P/T-type regional metamorphism of Cretaceous age and was thereafter thermally metamorphosed by an adjacent granodiorite. In the deposit, pegmatite and aplite dikes have also been noted in previous studies. The Rb-Sr ages of manganese ores containing yoshimuraite range from 71 to 80 Ma
