  • Hawaiite which distributed in Sanjideungdae of Sarabong cinder cone and Biseokgeori area in northern part of Jeju island, contains phenocrysts of titanium-rich hornblende (kaersutite) and plagioclase with microphenocrysts of olivine, pyroxene and very small amounts of K-feldspar lath and apatite. Kaersutite is mostly euhedral or subhedral phenocrysts having opaque reaction rim. And kaersutite in Sanjideungdae area completely replaced to opaque minerals showing pseudomorph. Also it may be seen partly replacement of pyroxene by kaersutire as reaction rim. It is considered that hydration reaction had occurred with fluids. The crystallization pressure of kaersutite using pressure-$Al^T$ geobarometer is approximately 6.3 kb in Sanjideungdae area and 4.9 kb in Biseokgeori area, respectively. As a result, fluid injection to magma and crystallization of kaersutite of Sanjideungdae hawaiite is deeper than that of Biseokgeori hawaiite, and it was growed to phenocrysts through crystallization. It is estimated that kaersutite of Biseokgeori hawaiite originated from crystallization from the host magma, based on the euhedral nature of the phenocrysts and on the presence of apatite inclusions.
