Abstract;Baghdadite from the Akagane mine, Iwate Prefecture, is found as minute accicular crystal groups in garnet-vesuvianite skarn. This is the second occurrence of this mineral in the world. The representative chemical analysis by EPMA gave SiO228.82, TiO20.98, ZrO227.80, CaO41.71, total 99.31wt.%, yielding the empirical formula Ca3.07(Zr0.93Ti0.05).SIGMA.0.98Si1.98O9 on the basis of O=9. The X-ray powder diffraction data by a Gandolfi camera are indexed on monoclinic cell with a=10.37(2), b=10.19(2), c=7.35(1).ANGS., .BETA.=91.05(5).DEG.. (author abst.)
