Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on chemico-crystallographic feature of epidote-group minerals. They are well-known as the rare-earth-element (REE) reservoir, which commonly occur under the various geological environments. REE-rich three new minerals, such as vanadoallanite-(La), ferriakasakaite-(La) and ferriandrosite-(La), are discovered, which leads the understanding of the REE concentration process of studied area and systematic structural variation due to cation substitution. Furthermore, vanadium behavior of epidote was investigated using synthetic V-bearing clinozoisite, which was the world first report. The flexibility of hydrogen-bonding system caused by the variation of oxidation of cations was re-investigated using pumpellyites, which is structurally and chemically similar to epidotes. The results supported the applicant’s previous studied. The phenomenon has been also tested by hydro-pyroxenoids and it was successfully confirmed.
