Abstract

Coexisting minerals of the hollandite-cryptomelane series, piemontite-group, and abswurmbachite-braunite series occur as a small nodule in a quartzose schist (metachert) from the epidote-amphibolite facies area of the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt, central Shikoku, Japan. Stron­tium, Ba. K. and Pb contents of the hollandite-cryptomelane minerals are 0.00-0.42, 0.07-0.99, 0.00-0.75 and 0.00-0.05 apfu (atoms per formula unit: O = 16), respectively. The piemontite-group minerals can be divided into common piemontite (Ca > Sr in the ten-coordinated A2-site) and strontiopiemontite (Sr > Ca). Strontium. Ba and Pb contents of the strontiopiemontite reach 0.71, 0.26 and 0.20 apfu (O = 12.5), respectively, suggesting the existence of two possible new end- members for epidote-group minerals: “Ba-piemontite [BaCa(Mn3+, Fe3+, Al)3Si3O12(OH)]” and "Pb- piemontite [PbCa(Mn3+, Fe3+, Al)3Si3O12(OH)]”. The abswunnbachite-braunite series minerals (Cu = 0.30-0.53 apfu: O = 12) contain up to 0.34 apfu Mg, indicating the exchange Mg(Mn2+, Cu)-1. Distribution coefficients for Sr between the hollandite-cryptomelane series and the piemontite-group minerals are up to 20. implying that the hollandite-type structure with its large open tunnel is more suitable for incorporation of Sr than the A2-site of the piemontite-group minerals. A synthetic alumi­nosilicate analogue of the hollandite-cryptomelane compound is stable under P > 8-10 GPa. and suggests the hollandite-type aluminosilicate may be a reservoir of Sr and other large-ion-lithophile elements in the upper mantle.
