Abstract

Beautiful green pyromorphite and yellow mimetite crystals were found from the Otaru-Matsukura barite mine, Hokkaido. The physical and chemical properties of these minerals were investigated. Pyromorphite, mimetite and intermediate solid solutions were synthetized, and their physical properties were compared with those of the natural minerals.
