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
Formula: TiO2
Description: Occurs in white clays around low-temperature fumaroles. The presence of this mineral is only known from its rather strong signal in Raman spectroscopy. Associated with cristobalite and opal.
Anglesite
Formula: PbSO4
Anhydrite
Formula: CaSO4
Description: Furs of millimeter-sized white elongated crystals in crevices of a altered tephra. Associated with opal.
Aphthitalite
Formula: (K,Na)3Na(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.
Augite
Formula: (CaxMgyFez)(Mgy1Fez1)Si2O6
'Buserite'
Formula: Na4Mn14O27 · 21H2O

Description: Green euhedral elongated crystals inside matrix of crumbly silicified rocks around high-temperature fumaroles. SXRD by Uwe Kolitsch, NHM Vienna. SXRD: C mon, 9.72, 8.89, 5.30, 106.6 Large diopside component.
Clinosulphur
Formula: S8
'Copiapite Group'
Colour: olive-green
Description: Olive-green pustules on reddish, crumbly rocks at the surface of high-temperature fumaroles. Raman analysis by Günter Frenz.
'Coquimbite Group'
Description: Sub-millimeter sized, yellow-white to white pustules, associated with copiapite at high-temperature fumaroles. Perhaps not formed as a sublimate but recrystallized from watery solutions of dissolved sublimates.

Habit: Equant habit, typical, well-developed garnet crystals. Rhombic dodecahedra {110}, sometimes modified by {211}.
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.

Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
Halite
Formula: NaCl
Colour: white, black, blueish, brown
Description: Occurs as cubes and glass-like dense crusts in high temperature fumaroles (500 - 750°C) inside Iōdake crater. Crusts are often colored black by magnetite and other metal oxides, but will turn white when cooled to ambient temperatures.

Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.
Habit: Mostly {111}, well crystallized, but rarely modified by other crystallographic forms, often hopper shaped. Fragile needles and blades of composite crystals of up to 4cm in fumaroles.
Colour: Sulphur on the outer slopes of the volcano is of typical yellow color, inside the crater orange sulphur can occasionally be found.
Description: Forming chimneys of low temperature fumaroles. Large deposits of sulfur in fumarole fields at the slopes of Iōdake volcano, often hidden under a grey-green crust. Crystals in cavities of altered rocks and clay deposits around fumarole fields. As stalactites in low-temperature fumaroles. As pseudomorphs after feldspar phenocrysts in leached volcanic rocks. Sometimes as small solidified sulfur flows inside the crater.
