The mineral specimens of Ko Collection, which are kept in an exhibition room at the Department of Geology, Kyushu University, are described using some crystal figuresand monochrome photographs. The Ko... Collection is one of the most important mineral collections in Japan, being famous as containing large crystal samples. It was collected by the late Sokichi Ko, who was a professor of economic geology at the Department of Mining, Kyushu University from 1911 to 1929. The arrangement of the mineral specimens, made primarily by the late Yohachiro OKAMOTO, is based on the classification of the DANA's System of Mineralogy, sixth edition (1892). The mineral specimens, amounting to about 1, 200 (159 species), are mainly crystal samples occurred from Japan, including those from Korea and Taiwan in the period 1890's- 1930's. The colle_ction is characterized by the excellent crystal samples from metallic mines in Japan, especially in Kyushu. The remarkable minerals (locality and figure no. of example given in parentheses) are: stibnite (Ichinokawa, 2), chalocopyrite (Ani), arsenopyrite (Obira, 14), Japanese twinned quartz (Otome 19; Kimpuzan), tridymite (Ishigamiyama, 22), calcite (Ashio; Akasaka; Kamioka; Furokura, 30), orthoclase (Tanokamiyama; Naegi), danburite (Obira, 49), topaz (Naegi, 51), gadolinite (Ishigureminami, 53), axinite (Obira, 57, 58), zeolites (Mase), monazite (Ishikawayama, 69), apatite (Ashio, 72; Kurokura, 73), and scorodite (Kiura, 76).続きを見る
