Mode of occurrence and mineralogy of clay minerals in Komaki halloysite deposit, Shimane Prefecture, southwest Japan, and its surrounding granitic rocks have been investigated by means of X-ay powder diffraction and transmission and scanning electron microscopes.The Komaki deposit is composed of two are bodies which are sharply bordered from the host rocks. The clay minerals of ores are composed of halloysite, kaolinite and mica clay mineral associated with a small amount of smectite. The rocks in the deposit are divided into three alteration zones based on the clay mineral assemblages: zone I (halloysite zone), zone II (kaolinite and halloysite zone), and zone III (kaolinite and mica clay mineral zone). The halloysite zone appears at the center of deposit, while the kaolinite and mica clay mineral zone occurs in the margin through the halloysite and kaolinite zone. Clay-veins (ca.0.1-5 cm in width) which are filled with halloysite, kaolinite, mica clay mineral and smectite are observed in the deposit. They have mainly N 0-10°W, E-W and N 30°-60°W of strike and nearly vertical dip.In the surrounding granitic rocks, the altered minerals and the clay-veins situated at higher levels are mainly composed of halloysite and kaolinite, whereas mica clay mineral and smectite are mainly found at lower levels. The clay-veins have mainly N0°-10°W, E-W and N30°-60°W of strike and nearly vertical dip. The fractures found in the studied area seem to be formed by a regional lateral compression of NW-SE directionMost of the clay deposit was formed by hydrothermal alteration of fractured felsitic rocks. The constituent minerals of clay-veins and major altered minerals in the surrounding rocks may be formed by a hydrothermal activity rather then weathering.
