Small volcanic island with very high-temperature fumaroles (up to 945 °C, Matsuo et al. 1974). Rhyolite leached out by acid fumaroles was mined for silica (up to 97% SiO₂). Fumarole gases here have the highest content of molybdenum vapour (1 ppm) and gold vapour (32 ppb) of any volcano (Hedenquist et al. 1994).

(Note: This is NOT the same Iwo-jima that became famous in WW2 - See under Tokyo Prefecture.)

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Aegirine
Formula: NaFe3+Si2O6
Description: Green to dark-green elongated, sometimes acicular crystals of good luster and well-developed crystal tips. Common in high-temperature fumaroles in the vicinity of halite crystals, in the hotter, central parts of the fumaroles.
ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Albite var. Anorthoclase
Formula: (Na,K)AlSi3O8
ⓘ Alunite
Formula: KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6
ⓘ Anatase

ⓘ Aphthitalite
Formula: K3Na(SO4)2
Habit: Massive crusts.
Colour: Gray to black.
Description: Solid gray to black crusts, water soluble. The dark color may be caused by finely dispersed molybdenite. Occurs in a zone where the bulk of the metal oxide and sulfide sublimates get deposited. Raman analysis of a black matrix with embedded tugarinovite crystals shows a curve that is a superposition of a molybdenite and aphthitalite patterns. Raman analysis done by Günter Frenz.

ⓘ Cotunnite
Formula: PbCl2
ⓘ Cristobalite
Formula: SiO2
Description: As component of opaline crusts, as major component in "clays" at fumarole fields, as rock-forming mineral in leached rocks composed of cristobalite and tridymite ("keiseki"). Minor component in silicified rocks at high-temperature fumaroles.

Colour: Orange, orange-yellow, green-brown.
Description: Small orange, yellow-orange and green-brown clear crystals with good vitreous luster. Well-developed and typical garnet-like crystal-shape with rhombic dodecahedra {110}, sometimes modified by {211}. Identified by Raman spectroscopy. Crystals occur in small groups inside high-temperature fumaroles associated with green pyroxenes. They can be seen in light-colored zones without sulfide and metal oxide sublimates. Raman analysis by Günter Frenz.
ⓘ Goethite
Formula: Fe3+O(OH)
ⓘ Gypsum
Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
Colour: Colorless or white, but also intensely colored yellow, green or blue by impurities like molybdenum blue.
Description: Fibrous crusts in the vicinity of high temperature fumaroles. Colorless, white, but also colored yellow, green or blue (by molybdenum blue).
ⓘ Halite
Formula: NaCl
ⓘ Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
ⓘ Hydroniumjarosite
Formula: (H3O)Fe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
ⓘ 'Hypersthene'
Formula: (Mg,Fe)SiO3
ⓘ Ilmenite
Formula: Fe2+TiO3
Description: Present in small amounts in Iodake rhyolite.
ⓘ Ilsemannite
Formula: Mo3O8 · nH2O
Colour: Blue
Description: Blue sublimates on rocks around high-temperature fumaroles at the summit crater, although never close to the vent of very high temperature fumaroles. More rarely embedded in thin opal crusts. Many specimens pale within a few days or weeks.
ⓘ Jarosite
Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6
ⓘ Kaolinite
Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4
ⓘ 'Limonite'
ⓘ Magnetite
Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4
Description: In and on salt crusts and halite cubes in high temperature fumaroles. Tiny octahedal crystals. Also as tiny, black plates, associated with a red-brown, translucent mineral, possibly hematite. These crystals may look like iron roses, as if initially deposited hematite had been reduced to magnetite. Crystal flakes are attracted by a magnet, powder XRD confirms magnetite.
ⓘ Molybdenite
Formula: MoS2
ⓘ Molybdite
Formula: MoO3
ⓘ Native Sulphur
Formula: S8
Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.
Description: Fumarolic deposits. In and around low-temperature fumaroles, forming thick crusts of massive sulfur that may cover large areas and look unsuspicious because of their dust-covered dark-gray surface. Also large soft sponge-like aggregates of small crystals. Sulphur nuggets in ravines. Skeltal crystals [111] of α-sulfur formed at temperatures below 95°C, almost colorless needles of β-sulphur around fumarole vents of higher tempertures. Massive stalactites. In and around the crater solidified molten sulfur. (Field observations, Amir Akhavan)

Description: Rock-forming mineral found in altered rocks close to high temperature fumaroles, where it partially replaces tridymite and cristobalite that are typically found at lower temperature fumaroles. Also as tiny (sub-millimeter) crystals outlining cracks in partially altered volcanic rocks (rare).
ⓘ Roedderite
Formula: K(◻Na)Mg2Mg3[Si12O30]
Habit: complex crystals in parallel growth
Colour: light blue to dark bluish green
ⓘ Sassolite
Formula: H3BO3
Habit: Very thin and soft flakes.
Description: Can be found close to the vents of small low temperature fumaroles in the vicinity of high-temperature fumaroles as a white sublimate. Water-soluble, hence can only be found after several days with dry weather.
ⓘ 'Siderogel'
Formula: ~FeO(OH) · nH2O
ⓘ Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
ⓘ 'Sulfurite'
Formula: S
Description: Small solidified sulfur flows (a few centimeters in length) of yellow, yellow-brown to orange color, close to fumaroles.

Colour: Colorless
Description: Colorless needles, in small tufts and randomly intergrown. Associated with garnet and green pyroxenes in high temperature fumaroles in zones with little or no metal sulfide sublimate deposition. Possibly (but not yet confirmed analytically) also on crumbly red rocks from high-temperature fumaroles associated with sulfates (copiapite group). Raman analysis by Günter Frenz.
ⓘ Wulfenite
Formula: Pb(MoO4)
