Abstract

A new Sr-Ti hydrous silicate mineral was found in albitite cutting serpentinite at Ohmi, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan. It occurs as aggregate of fibrous crystals of light pink in color. The mineral is monoclinic with a=10.958 Å; b=7.778 Å; c=7.799 Å, β=100°54′, space group P21/m. Crystals are elongated along b-axis, density 3.38; hardness 3.5, weak pleochroism, α=1.849, γ=1.715. Chemical analysis gave SiO2 34.79, Ti2O3 10.27, Fe2O3 0.20, SrO 47.37, H2O 6.68, Total 99.31. The chemical formulae of the mineral is Sr3TiSi4O12(OH)•2H2O.
