Jadeitite, known as ‘hisui’ in Japan, has been esteemed as sacred stone in both ancient and modern Japanese cultures. Although it was thought that the source material of Japanese jadeitite was brought from China, the identification of jadeite in 1939 changed this interpretation. Japanese jadeitites and jadeite–rich metasomatic rocks are found in Paleozoic and also Mesozoic geotectonic units. All localities are situated in serpentinite mélange with high–pressure metamorphic rocks and/or serpentinite lenses within a high–pressure metamorphosed complex. Outcrop exposures of contact between jadeitite and host serpentinite are extremely rare. Normally the jadeitites show lithological heterogeneity in the same locality due to multiple deformation, recrystallization, and metasomatic fluid infiltration. Studies over the last two decades have interpreted jadeitite in worldwide either as the direct aqueous fluid precipitate (P–type) from subduction channel into the overlying mantle wedge, as the metasomatic replacement (R–type) by such fluids of oceanic plagiogranite, graywacke, or metabasite along the channel margin, or a combination of these two processes. Japanese jadeitites are classified into one or the other type. Multiple stable isotope characterization analyses for jadeitite and related metasomatic rocks and serpentinite become increasingly important to decode fluid behaviors in past subduction zone. However, available geochemical data on Japanese jadeitite are very limited in comparison with other studied localities. More systematic research will unlock new insights about fluid flow and its impacts at the bottom of forearc mantle where jadeitites form. Chemical differentiation and transportation of the fluids involved in jadeitite–formation are crucial topics requiring further research. Nevertheless, the designation of jadeite (and jadeitite) as the national stone of Japan by the Japan Association of Mineralogical Sciences in 2016 should bolster education of the public about this revered stone and its role in subduction zone processes.

Parasymplesite and vivianite specimens were obtained from Kiura Mine, Ohita, Japan and Tomigaoka, Nara, Japan, respectively. Empirical chemical formulas of the specimens determined by energy–dispersive X–ray spectroscopy on the scanning electron microscopy were Fe3(AsO4)2·8H2O, and (Fe0.93Mn0.06Mg0.01)3(PO4)2·8H2O, respectively. The crystal structures of parasymplesite and vivianite determined by single–crystal X–ray diffraction method were monoclinic, space group C2/m, with unit–cell parameters: a = 10.3519(10), b = 13.6009(13), c = 4.7998(4) Å, β = 104.816(2)°, V = 653.32(11) Å3 (Z = 4), and monoclinic, space group C2/m, with unit–cell parameters: a = 10.1518(6), b = 13.4327(7), c = 4.7005(3) Å, β = 104.692(2)°, V = 620.03(6) Å3 (Z = 4), respectively. The crystal structure of parasymplesite solved with the ideal chemical formula was refined to the R1 value of 0.0301 (wR2 = 0.0788) for 722 independent reflections with |Fo| > 4σ(|Fo|), whereas that of vivianite was refined to the R1 value of 0.0272 (wR2 = 0.0832) for 664 independent reflections. The hydrogen atom positions determined by the difference Fourier method coincided with the positions where residual electron density peaks appeared. In the edge–sharing Fe2O6(H2O)4 double octahedra in parasymplesite and vivianite, the bond distance of Fe2–O5, where O5 is the oxygen atom of the H2O molecule, is shorter than that of Fe2–O2. In each arsenate and phosphate phase, only the M2–O2 bond distance shows an increase trend with the increase in the average ionic radii of the M2 site, but the M2–O3 bond distance never shows a clear average M2 ionic radius dependence. In vivianite group minerals, a distortion at the isolated M1O2(H2O)4 octahedra increases as a function of the average M1 ionic radius. The respective complex sheets consisting of the TO4 tetrahedra, isolated M1 octahedra, and edge–sharing M2 double octahedra are connected only by the hydrogen bond O5–H52•••O4. In the arsenate phases, the donor–acceptor distance between O5 and O4 exhibits an increase trend as increase of the average M ionic radius, but in the phosphate phases, there is no clear correlation between donor–acceptor distances and the average M ionic radius.

Chemically heterogeneous amphibole, ranging in composition from magnesio–riebeckite through ferri–ghoseite to clino–suenoite, was found in a specimen of Sanbagawa quartz schist from the Iimori region of the western Kii Peninsula, central Japan. The amphibole exhibits a continuous solid solution between BNa and BMn2+ (BMn2+ = 0–1.82 atoms per formula unit). Most of the amphibole crystals comprise a Mn–poor core and a Mn–rich rim, and ferri–ghoseite often occurs near the boundary between core and rim. The crystal structure of a single crystal fragment of ferri–ghoseite, which has an averaged composition of A(Na0.16K0.02)Σ0.18B(Na0.83Ca0.09Mn2+1.08)Σ2.00C(Mg3.78Mn2+0.52Fe3+0.66Al0.04)Σ5.00T(Si7.95Al0.05)Σ8.00O22W[(OH)1.90F0.10]Σ2.00 based on electron–microprobe analyses, was refined to a R1 of 6.7%, has unit cell parameters of a = 9.6389(7), b = 18.0534(10), c = 5.3138(3) Å, and β = 102.896(2)°, and is in space group C2/m with Z = 2. The site populations for B cations of the ferri–ghoseite are M4(Na0.83Ca0.09)M4’Mn2+1.08, which also confirms the B(Na,Mn2+) solid solution. Sector–zoned aegirine occurs in the amphibole–bearing quartz schist from Iimori, and it is assumed that most of the metamorphic minerals in the quartz schist formed under non–equilibrium conditions. Therefore, taking into account the miscibility gap between sodium amphibole and clino–suenoite, the solid solution between BNa and BMn2+ in the amphibole can be inferred to have resulted from rapid, non–equilibrium crystallization rather than high–T equilibrium crystallization.

Tellurium–bearing gold, silver, and base metal assemblages characterize the epithermal mineralization in southwestern Hokkaido, Japan. The telluride deposits in this district consist of quartz–filled fracture systems of Late Miocene to Pliocene age. Most of the telluride mineralization in southwestern Hokkaido consists of vein systems or are massive in form. The dominant host rocks for this deposit type are intermediate to acid volcanic rocks. The gangue and alteration minerals are very fine to fine–grained quartz, chalcedony, anatase, zeolite, sericite, barite, adularia, chlorite, smectite or other clay mineral, while carbonate (calcite and rhodocrosite) and Mn minerals are poorly represented and rarely coexist with tellurides. The country rocks suffered argillic and propylitic alterations, silicification, and kaolinitization. Tellurium–bearing mineralization is related to or co–exists with sulfide and sulfosalt mineralization. The tellurides identified in the studied area consist of native tellurium, hessite, stutzite, petzite, sylvanite, calaverite, tellurobismuthite, tetradymite, Se–bearing tetradymite, tellurantimony, goldfieldite, altaite, coloradoite, tellurite, teineite, and poughite. The first crystallized telluride minerals such as native tellurium, stutzite, petzite, sylvanite and hessite are followed by calaverite, coloradoite, tellurobismuthite, tellurantimony, and altaite, indicating a decline in tellurium activity during telluride deposition with time. Microthermometry of fluid inclusions in quartz and barite indicate that the mineralization formed at moderate temperatures, ranging from 250–200 °C with low average salinity (1.9–5.7 wt% NaClequiv.). The shift in mineralogy reflects decreases in temperature and fugacity of sulfur, with a concomitant increase in fugacity of tellurium. Further decrease in fugacity of tellurium (coupled with decreasing fugacity of sulfur) resulted in deposition of Au–Ag–Te and other tellurides.

Zaïrite was found from the quartz vein penetrating into the metamorphosed mudstone of the Wazuka Unit in Ishidera area, Wazuka–cho, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, which is the first occurrence in Japan. Zaïrite occurs as bright–yellow granular crystals (20–30 µm) in a cavity formed by the leaching of fluorapatite with native bismuth inclusion. The chemical composition of zaïrite from Ishidera was closer to the ideal chemical composition, comparing with the zaïrite from type locality including Al. The empirical formula from electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) analysis on the basis of O = 8, OH− = 6 was (Bi0.70Ca0.23)Σ0.93Fe3+2.91(P2.04S0.09O8)(OH)6. The unit cell parameters obtained from the X–ray diffraction (XRD) pattern were a = 7.311(3) Å and c = 16.407(7) Å, larger than the type locality due to difference in chemical composition.

Structural analysis of Ce– and Nb–perovskites containing Fe, Zr, Nb, and rare earth elements (REEs) in CaTiO3 perovskite was performed using single–crystal X–ray diffraction and X–ray absorption near–edge structure (XANES) analyses. Based on chemical analysis results, XANES measurements and the site–occupation of elements at A– and B–sites showed the chemical formula:(Ca2+0.817REE3+0.087Na+0.081Sr2+0.005Th4+0.003)1.998+0.993(Ti4+0.941Nb5+0.017Fe3+0.013V5+0.010Fe2+0.007Sc3+0.006Zn2+0.005Al3+0.002Ge4+0.001W6+0.001)3.996+1.003O3 for Ce–perovskite and(Ca2+0.937Ce3+0.021Na+0.020La3+0.015Sr2+0.003)2.008+0.996(Ti4+0.730Nb5+0.122Fe3+0.108Al3+0.020Zr4+0.009V5+0.008)3.990+0.997O3for Nb–perovskite. In Ce– and Nb–perovskites, the total charges at the A– and B–sites achieved near–ideal divalent and tetravalent states such as Ca2+Ti4+O3, respectively, due to complex elemental substitutions. Local distortions around Ti in the perovskite solid solutions were greater, and the pre–edge features of the Ti atoms in Ce– and Nb–perovskites were different from those in pure CaTiO3. The valence states and local structures of Fe in Ce– and Nb–perovskites were significantly different. The existence of divalent Fe2+ at the B–site in Ce–perovskite was confirmed. It is presumed that the displacement ellipsoids of all atoms and local irregularities in Ce–perovskite increase owing to the radiative decay of the actinoid element Th. We reconfirmed that the composition and three–dimensional structure of perovskite–type structures were flexible and caused various electrical, structural changes.

The three–dimensional (3–D) structure of crystals around the interface between massive potassium (K)–feldspar and quartz–feldspar intergrowth (graphic granite) of two samples collected from a pegmatite body in Ishikawa town, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, was determined by X–ray computed tomography (CT). Based on the results and additional information obtained by serial thin section and polarizing observations, the formation processes of graphic granite and pegmatite bodies are discussed. The most important finding of the 3–D observation using X–ray CT is the very flat spatial distribution of the tips of the quartz crystals. The sharp interface between the graphic and single–phase parts suggests that the change from graphic granite to massive K–feldspar crystallization corresponds to the transition of the thermodynamic conditions at the growth front from non–equilibrium to equilibrium. This indication leads to a new model for the pegmatite genesis, that is, graphic granite forms at the marginal zone under non–equilibrium conditions shortly after the intrusion of magma due to rapid cooling by the cold host rock body and, subsequently, the crystallization of massive K–feldspar starts when the conditions at the crystal growth front reenter the ‘feldspar + melt’ field in the phase diagram due to the relaxation of the conditions. Other results related to the conditions of the growth environment with coexisting aqueous fluid, such as the connectivity of the quartz crystals, are also discussed, for example, the influence of the supercritical state on the nucleation of quartz crystals.

The Hida granites, classified into the pre–Jurassic and Jurassic plutons in this study, are important components of the Hida belt, which is a Paleozoic–Mesozoic basement of the Japan arc and underwent Permian to Triassic metamorphism during the collision between the North and South China blocks. This study performed zircon U–Pb dating and whole–rock geochemical analyses for the Hida granites from the major plutonic bodies to reveal the geotectonic history and the origin of the Hida belt. Obtained 238U–206Pb weighted mean ages exhibit 239.1–238.3 Ma for the Katakaigawa body (augen granite) and 200.5–180.9 Ma for the other bodies (non–deformed granitoids), and these ages can be correlated to the pre–Jurassic and Jurassic plutons, respectively. Geochronological results suggest that the mylonitization forming augen granites of the pre–Jurassic plutons occurred during its intrusion and indicate that the Jurassic plutons are distributed widely in the Japan Sea side of the Hida belt. Meanwhile, geochemical characteristics of whole–rock major and trace element compositions indicate that the pre–Jurassic and Jurassic plutons seem difficult to distinguished geochemically and suggest that both of them are adakitic and non–adakitic granites generated in subduction zone.

We report in situ major and trace element and Li isotope analyses of murakamiite and Li–rich pectolite in an albitite and whole–rock analyses of the albitite and host granite from Iwagi Islet, SW Japan. The albitite forms small bodies that are several tens of centimeters to tens of meters in size, disseminated in a host granite of Late Cretaceous age. The studied murakamiite–bearing albitite contains albite, sugilite, aegirine–augite, quartz, murakamiite–Li–rich pectolite, microcline, katayamalite, and accessory minerals. It shows conspicuous strain–induced textures. The murakamiite and Li–rich pectolite form a solid solution with Li × 100/(Li + Na) atomic ratios ranging from 44.2 to 60.1, and the Na line profiles show a zoning structure in which Na decreases from core to rim. Major and trace element compositions of murakamiite–pectolite normalized to that of albitite indicate the enrichments of some elements, particularly in Mn, Ca, Li, Sr, and REEs, roughly on the same order of magnitude (~ 10 times). The albitite–normalized element concentrations vary systematically with ionic radius of the element; the normalized concentrations of cations with the same valence roughly form a simple convex parabolic curve when plot against the ionic radius. This indicates that the element partitioning of murakamiite and pectolite during metasomatism to form albitite took place under a strong control of crystal structure, quasi–equilibrated with metasomatic fluids and coexisting minerals. The δ7Li values of murakamiite and Li–rich pectolite show a wide range from −9.1 to +0.4‰ (average −2.9‰), and no obvious correlation with Li contents was observed. These δ7Li values should have resulted from hydrothermal fluid–rock interactions at the temperatures of 300–600 °C. The very low δ7Li values down to −9.1‰ may have originated from intra–crystalline Li isotope diffusion, or involvement of deep–seated, Li–Na–enriched subduction–zone fluids with low δ7Li values.

The Tonaru epidote–amphibolite is one of the large metagabbro dominated bodies and occurs in schistose rocks of the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt, central Shikoku. This body locally retains mineral parageneses of eclogite facies equilibrium prior to the epidote–amphibolite facies stage. The lithologic boundary between the epidote–amphibolite and the surrounding schistose rocks was well observed along the Kokuryo River in the western part of the Besshi region in central Shikoku. Boundary zone of 1.5–2.5 m wide is developed between the epidote–amphibolite and pelitic schist. This zone is composed of a basic layer and alternating layers consisting of thin amphibole–rich and mica–rich bands, which occupy the epidote–amphibolite and pelitic schist sides, respectively. The basic layer has a chondrite–normalized rare–earth element (REE) pattern with slight enrichment of light REEs, which corresponds to epidote–amphibolite. By contrast, the amphibole–rich band has a flat REE pattern similar to the basic schist of the Sanbagawa belt. The basic layer in the boundary zone and epidote–amphibolite have composite–zoned garnet, showing a compositional discontinuity between the core and mantle parts, similar to that in the Sanbagawa eclogite unit. Garnet in the amphibole–rich and mica–rich bands of the alternating layers and pelitic schist shows simple normal zoning, which commonly occurs in the Sanbagawa non–eclogite unit. Sodic plagioclase occurs as inclusions in the mantle part of the composite–zoned garnet and normally zoned garnet as well as in a matrix phase. These lithologies belong to the oligoclase–biotite zone with equilibrium pressure/temperature conditions of 1.1–1.2 GPa/595–625 °C; discontinuity of metamorphic grade is not detected throughout the outcrop for the epidote–amphibolite facies stage. These data suggest that (1) the basic layer is the fractured part of the epidote–amphibolite and (2) the tectonic boundary between the eclogite and non–eclogite units corresponds to the lithologic boundary between the basic layer and alternating layers of thin amphibole–rich and mica–rich bands in the boundary zone.

CO2 distribution in M12 and M14 cages of CO2–rich melanophlogite from Fortunillo, Tuscany, Italy was studied using synchrotron powder X–ray diffraction. Original and two heat–treated samples at 500 and 1000 °C were studied at room temperature. The diffraction patterns of these samples can be indexed as a cubic cell (Pm3n). For the non–heated sample, CO2 occupancy for M14 cage is close to unity, whereas about 0.85 for M12 cage. For the 500 °C–heated sample, the occupancies for M14 and M12 cages are reduced to 0.79 and 0.57, respectively. Present study showed that CO2 has preference to M14 cage, but substantial CO2 occupies M12 cage. The electron distributions obtained by MEM analysis clearly reveal orientationally ordered CO2 distribution in M12 and M14 cages. Present result is also used to clarify a recently proposed interpretation for the splitting of CO2 Raman vibrational peak for the heat–treated melanophlogite.

A focused ion beam (FIB) scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a low–energy Ar–ion gun, an electron back–scattered diffraction (EBSD) detector, and an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) was newly developed for microfabrication, followed by submicroscopic chemical and crystallographic analyses in an identical sample chamber. The surface condition of mineral samples requires extreme care during FIB milling process, especially for EBSD measurement, as the EBSD pattern is greatly affected by a damaged amorphous surface caused by a high–energy Ga–ion beam (30 keV), even when this damaged layer is only tens of nanometers in thickness. Low–energy broad Ar–ion beam milling (1 keV) overcomes this problem and allows us to obtain sharp EBSD patterns. We applied the microfabrication–analysis protocol to a cosmic spherule. Comprehensive mineralogical datasets from SEM images, X–ray elemental maps, and EBSD patterns were successfully obtained from a minute mineral sample, where conventional cutting and polishing processes are not possible.

The Suo metamorphic complex in the Chugoku Mountains of southwest (SW) Japan represents Jurassic high pressure (P )/temperature (T ) type metamorphic rocks. Its high–grade part is exposed in the Nichinan area, where barroisite–bearing mafic schist occurs as ~ 50–m thick layers in pelitic schist. These mafic layers contain the common matrix assemblage barroisite + epidote + albite + quartz + titanite + phengite. Relic minerals (garnet, glaucophane, aegirine–augite, Si–rich phengite and rutile) of early–stage parageneses are preserved within albite porphyroblasts. The textural relations combined with pseudosection modeling suggest a clockwise P –T trajectory from epidote–blueschist facies through the garnet + clinopyroxene stable conditions to epidote–amphibolite facies. Two distinct phases of high–strain ductile deformation (D1 and D2) can be recognized in the area, and they are related to early and late stages of exhumation. Albite porphyroblasts initially grew statically between D1 and D2 at ~ 520–530 °C and ~ 0.8 GPa, and further retrogressive growth of albite rims and chlorite at the expense of barroisite is synchronous with D2. The lithological association, deformation structures and metamorphic conditions of the Jurassic Suo metamorphic complex are very similar to those of the Cretaceous Sanbagawa metamorphic complex, suggesting they have comparable exhumation processes as coherent–type high–P/T metamorphic complexes.

Petersite–(La) is a new mineral of the petersite series in the mixite group with an ideal formula of Cu6La(PO4)3(OH)6·3H2O from Ohgurusu, Kiwa–cho, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The mixite–group minerals occur in small cavities coated by chrysocolla developed along quartz veins. Four members from different cavities have been identified: petersite–(La), petersite–(Ce), petersite–(Y), and agardite–(La). Petersite–(La) occurs as a radial aggregate formed by acicular to hexagonal columnar crystals of yellowish green color. Crystals are elongated along [001] and the prismatic face is probably formed by {001} and {100} or {110}. It is non–fluorescent in UV light. Crystals are brittle, cleavage and parting are non–observed, and fracture is uneven. These characteristics are common in other mixite–group minerals. The calculated density of petersite–(La) is 3.33 g/cm3, based on the empirical formula and powder XRD data. It is optically uniaxial positive with ω = 1.680(3) and ε = 1.767(3) (white light), and pleochroism varies from light green to yellowish green. Based on the WDS analysis, the empirical formula of petersite–(La) calculated on the basis of P + As + Si = 3 is (Cu5.692Fe0.010)Σ5.702[(La0.148Ce0.122Nd0.117Y0.086Sm0.022)Σ0.495Ca0.372]Σ0.866(P1.890As0.799Si0.311)Σ3O10.320(OH)7.680·3H2O. Petersite–(La) is hexagonal (P63/m) with a = 13.367(2) Å, c = 5.872(2) Å, and V = 908.7(4) Å3 (Z = 2). The eight strongest lines of petersite–(La) in the powder XRD pattern [d in Å(I/I0)(hkl )] are 11.578(100)(100), 4.377(28)(210 + 120), 3.509(18)(211 + 121), 3.211(10)(310 + 130), 2.898(14)(221, 400), 2.656(10)(320 + 230), 2.526(11)(410 + 140), and 2.438(25)(212 + 122). Petersite–(La) is the third defined member in the petersite series and corresponds to the La–dominant analogue of petersite–(Y) and petersite–(Ce).

The metamorphic pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions of high–grade pelitic gneisses from Akarui Point, Skarvsnes, Skallen, and Rundvågshetta in the Lützow–Holm Complex (LHC), East Antarctica are re–examined by applying the Zr–in–rutile geothermometer to rutile inclusions in garnet enclosing Al2SiO5 minerals and to matrix rutile grains. By utilizing the P zoning of garnet to indicate isochronous surface, samples from Akarui Point, Skarvsnes, and Skallen were shown to have experienced almost the same P–T conditions around the kyanite/sillimanite transition boundary (~ 830–850 °C/~ 11 kbar). From Rundvågshetta, higher–T condition (850 ± 15 °C/0.1 kbar to 927 ± 16 °C/12.5 kbar) was confirmed from rutile inclusions in garnet enclosing sillimanite. Matrix rutile yielded similar temperature as inclusion rutile for Akarui Point, Skarvsnes, and Skallen samples. Therefore, the traditional metamorphic zone mapping based on matrix mineral assemblages, which classified Akarui Point as belonging to the transitional zone between the upper–amphibolite and the granulite facies zones, does not reflect the highest metamorphic conditions attained. The P–T–t evolution of the LHC needs to be re–evaluated utilizing detailed petrochronological approaches.

The sound velocity and density of ε–FeOOH have been simultaneously measured up to 24 GPa at room temperature using an ultrasonic pulse–echo–overlap method and a Kawai–type multi–anvil apparatus at BL04B1 in SPring–8. In the experimental pressure range, the velocity of both the P– and S–waves of ε–FeOOH was ~ 15% lower than that of an isostructural phase δ–AlOOH. The pressure dependence of the determined adiabatic bulk modulus (KS) increased in the higher pressure range beyond 17 GPa, whereas that of the axial ratios a/c and b/c did not transition from negative to positive. A similar change of pressure dependence of KS was observed in δ–AlOOH, which is followed by a transition of proton distribution state to disordered, but the axial ratios of ε–FeOOH indicate that the transition would not occur up to 24 GPa.

Enigmatic dunitic veins and veinlets crosscutting a podiform chromitite ore body discovered in Wadi Rajmi, northern Oman ophiolite, display a peculiar characteristic of being almost or completely spinel-free. Olivines show an evolution trend from the spinel-free dunites (Fo<sub>93-94</sub> and 0.4 wt% NiO) to the spinel-bearing dunites (Fo<sub>91-93</sub> and 0.2-0.3 wt% NiO). The Cr/(Cr + Al) of chromian spinel grains increases from 0.6 to 0.8, accompanied by a slight increase in Fe<sup>3+</sup> ratio, and the Fo content of olivine decreases in the spinel-bearing dunites. A high-Mg magma, initially undersaturated with chromian spinel, precipitated the spinel-free dunites. Once the spinel saturation of the melt was attained by fractionation, the spinel-bearing dunites precipitated. The initial magma was possibly komatiitic in nature, which was produced at an early stage of detachment of the oceanic lithosphere that formed the Oman ophiolite.
