Tokyoite, Ba<sub>2</sub>Mn<sup>3+</sup>(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(OH), the Mn<sup>3+</sup>-analogue of gamagarite, is found from the Shiromaru mine, Okutama, Tokyo, Japan. It is monoclinic, <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>m</i>, <i>a</i> = 9.10(4), <i>b</i> = 6.13(2), <i>c</i> = 7.89(5) Å, β = 112.2(5)°, Z = 2. The strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern are 3.73 (15) (111), 3.31 (100) (112), 3.08 (20) (020), 3.00 (16) (301, 212, 102), 2.90 (19) (120), 2.80 (62) (121, 300), 2.16 (18) (321), 1.963 (15) (204). Electron microprobe analysis gave V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> 31.77, SiO<sub>2</sub> 0.15, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.07, Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 2.33, Mn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 11.27, CaO 0.07, BaO 51.91, SrO 0.22, Na<sub>2</sub>O 0.13, H<sub>2</sub>O (calc.) 1.59, total 99.51 wt. %, and lead to the empirical formula, (Ba<sub>1.92</sub>Na<sub>0.02</sub>Sr<sub>0.01</sub>Ca<sub>0.01</sub>)<sub>Σ1.96</sub>(Mn<sup>3+</sup><sub>0.81</sub>Fe<sup>3+</sup><sub>0.17</sub>Al<sub>0.01</sub>)<sub>Σ0.99</sub>[(V<sub>1.99</sub>Si<sub>0.01</sub>)O<sub>7.92</sub>](OH)<sub>1.00</sub> on the basis of V + Si = 2 and (OH) = 1. It is translucent and black red in color with a vitreous luster. The streak is dark brownish red and cleavage is not observed. The Mohs' hardness is about 4 to 4.5. The calculated density is 4.62 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. It has distinct pleochroism, from reddish orange to dark brownish red in thin section and the calculated mean refractive index is 2.03. It occurs as irregular grains under 15 μm, and the aggregates are up to 250 μ</i>m wide in association with braunite, hyalophane and tamaite. The mineral is formed under the later stage activity of low grade metamorphism.

Iwashiroite-(Y), YTaO<sub>4</sub>, was found from Suishoyama, Kawamata Town, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It is monoclinic</i>, <i>P</i>2/<i>a</i>, <i>a</i> = 5.262(5) Å, <i>b</i> = 5.451(5) Å, <i>c</i> = 5.110(5) Å, β = 95.12(10)°, <i>V</i> = 146.0(2) Å<sup>3</sup>, Z = 2. The five strongest lines in the powder XRD pattern [<i>d</i>(Å), <i>I</i>/<i>I</i><sub>0</sub>, <i>hkl</i>] are (3.13, 100, 111), (2.95, 94, 111), (2.73, 26, 020), (1.890, 29, 220) and (1.862, 29, 022). Electron microprobe analysis gave; Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 29.10, Ce<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.10, Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.10, Sm<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.36, Gd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 1.06, Tb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.25, Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 2.38, Ho<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.56, Er<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 2.09, Tm<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.37, Yb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 3.33, Lu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 0.85, ThO<sub>2</sub> 0.02, UO<sub>2</sub> 0.15, CaO 0.17, Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> 40.64, Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> 16.66, TiO<sub>2</sub> 0.41, total 98.60 wt%, and leads to the empirical formula, (Y<sub>0.81</sub>Yb<sub>0.05</sub>Dy<sub>0.04</sub>Er<sub>0.03</sub></sub>Gd<sub>0.02</sub>Lu<sub>0.01</sub>Ho<sub>0.01</sub>Sm<sub>0.01</sub>Ca<sub>0.01</sub>Tm<sub>0.01</sub>)<sub>Σ1.00</sub>(Ta<sub>0.58</sub>Nb<sub>0.39</sub>T<sub>i0.02</sub>)<sub>Σ0.99</sub>O<sub>4</sub> on the basis of the 4 oxygen atoms per formula unit. Iwashiroite-(Y) is translucent and amber brown to brown in color with a glassy to subadamantine luster. The streak is pale brown and cleavage is {010} good, {001} poor. The Mohs' hardness is 6. The calculated density is 7.1 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. Iwashiroite-(Y) occurs as an aggregate of small euhedral platy crystals with a metamict substance in the main ore body of the granite pegmatite mine at the locality. Associated minerals are quartz, microcline and annite. The crystal structure was refined to <i>R</i> = 0.034 with single crystal XRD data. Although the structure consists of TaO<sub>6</sub> octahedra and YO<sub>8</sub> polyhedra, iwashiroite-(Y) is not isostructural with fergusonite-beta-(Y).
