IMA Master List The New IMA List of Minerals – A Work in Progress – Updated: September 2014 In the following pages of this document a comprehensive list of all valid mineral species is presented. The list is distributed (for terms and conditions see below) via the web site of the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association, which is the organization in charge for approval of new minerals, and more in general for all issues related to the status of mineral species. The list, which will be updated on a regular basis, is intended as the primary and official source on minerals. Explanation of column headings: Name : it is the presently accepted mineral name (and in the table, minerals are sorted by name). CNMMN/CNMNC approved formula : it is the chemical formula of the mineral. IMA status : A = approved (it applies to minerals approved after the establishment of the IMA in 1958); G = grandfathered (it applies to minerals discovered before the birth of IMA, and generally considered as valid species); Rd = redefined (it applies to existing minerals which were redefined during the IMA era); Rn = renamed (it applies to existing minerals which were renamed during the IMA era); Q = questionable (it applies to poorly characterized minerals, whose validity could be doubtful). IMA No. / Year : for approved minerals the IMA No. is given: it has the form XXXX-YYY, where XXXX is the year and YYY a sequential number; for grandfathered minerals the year of the original description is given. In some cases, typically for Rd and Rn minerals, the year may be followed by s.p. (special procedure): it refers to the year in which a specific action (redefinition and/or renaming) took place, and was approved by IMA. This may be related to the approval of a report by a dedicated subcommittee on a given group of minerals. Country : it is the country in which the mineral was discovered for the first time (according to the national boundaries as of today). First reference : it is the original reference for each mineral. Second reference : it is the most recent or most complete reference for each mineral, possibly including a crystal structure study. Caveat (IMPORTANT): the list includes selected information on the 4963 currently valid species; inevitably there will be mistakes in it. We will be grateful to all those who will point out errors of any kind, including typos. Please email your corrections to [email protected] .

The structure and spectral properties of two copper bearing 14 xocomecatlite and tlapallite are compared with an iron bearing rodalquilarite mineral. 15 Two prominent bands observed at 9855 and 9015 cm-1 are 16 2 2 2 2 2+ 17 assigned to B1g → B2g and B1g → A1g transitions of Cu ion in xocomecatlite. 18 19 The cause of spectral distortion is the result of many cations of Ca, Pb, Cu and Zn the 20 in tlapallite mineral structure. Rodalquilarite is characterised by ferric ion absorption 21 in the range 12300-8800 cm-1. 22 Three water vibrational overtones are observed in xocomecatlite at 7140, 7075 23 and 6935 cm-1 where as in tlapallite bands are shifted to low wavenumbers at 7135, 24 7080 and 6830 cm-1. The complexity of rodalquilarite spectrum increases with more 25 number of overlapping bands in the near-infrared.

The samples can be divided into three types: Mn-rich 15 16 nodules, Fe-Mn nodules, and Fe-rich nodules. The manganese-bearing phases are todorokite, birnessite, 16 17 and buserite. The iron-bearing phases are feroxyhyte, goethite, 2-line ferrihydrite, and proto-goethite 17 18 (intermediate phase between feroxyhyte and goethite). The XRD patterns from a nodule cross section 18 19 suggest the transformation of birnessite to todorokite. The TEM-EDS spectra show that todorokite is 19 associated with Ba, Co, Ni, and Zn; birnessite is associated with Ca and Na; and buserite is associated with 20 2+ +2 3+ 20 Ca. The todorokite has an average chemical formula of Ba0.28(Zn0.14Co0.05 21 2+ 4+ 3+ 3+ 3+ 2+ 21 Ni0.02)(Mn4.99Mn0.82Fe0.12Co0.05Ni0.02)O12·nH2O.

  • Metamorphism of Sedimentary Manganese Deposits
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XX/2, 325—336, 1972. METAMORPHISM OF SEDIMENTARY MANGANESE DEPOSITS SUPRIYA ROY ABSTRACT: Metamorphosed sedimentary deposits of manganese occur extensively in India, Brazil, U. S. A., Australia, New Zealand, U. S. S. R., West and South West Africa, Madagascar and Japan. Different mineral-assemblages have been recorded from these deposits which may be classi- fied into oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations. The oxide formations are represented by lower oxides (braunite, bixbyite, hollandite, hausmannite, jacobsite, vredenburgite •etc.), the carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, kutnahorite, manganoan calcite etc., the silicate formations by spessartite, rhodonite, manganiferous amphiboles and pyroxenes, manganophyllite, piedmontite etc. and the silicate-carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, rhodonite, tephroite, spessartite etc. Pétrographie and phase-equilibia data indicate that the original bulk composition in the sediments, the reactions during metamorphism (contact and regional and the variations and effect of 02, C02, etc. with rise of temperature, control the mineralogy of the metamorphosed manga- nese formations. The general trend of formation and transformation of mineral phases in oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations during regional and contact metamorphism has, thus, been established. Sedimentary manganese formations, later modified by regional or contact metamorphism, have been reported from different parts of the world. The most important among such deposits occur in India, Brazil, U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Ghana, South and South West Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Japan etc. An attempt will be made to summarize the pertinent data on these metamorphosed sedimentary formations so as to establish the role of original bulk composition of the sediments, transformation and reaction of phases at ele- vated temperature and varying oxygen and carbon dioxide fugacities in determin- ing the mineral assemblages in these deposits.

  • Minerals of the Eudialyte Group from the Sagasen Larvikite Quarry, Porsgrunn, Norway
    = Minerals of the eudialyte group from the Sagasen larvikite quarry, Porsgrunn, Norway Alf Olav Larsen, Arne Asheim and Robert A. Gault Introduction Eudialyte, aNa-rich zirconosilicate with varying amounts of Ca, Fe, Mn, REE, Nb, K, Y, Ti, CI and F, was first described from the llimaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland by Stromeyer (1819), Since then, the mineral has been described from many other alkaline deposits, and is a characteristic mineral in agpaitic nepheline syenites and their associated pegmatites. In recent years, eudialyte (sensa lata) has been the subject of extensive studies. The broad compositional variations and new insight into the crystal chemistry of the mineral group resulted in the definition of several new species by the Eudialyte Nomenclature Subcommittee under the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names of the International Mineralogical Association (Johnsen et al. 2003b). Brown eudialyte (s. I.) is a common constituent of the agpaitic pegmatites in the Langesundsfjord district in the western part of the Larvik plutonic complex (Br0gger 1890). Recent chemical analyses of the mineral have shown that some localities contain ferrokentbrooksite (Johnsen et al. 2003a). Other localities hold eudialyte (sensa stricto). Ferrokentbrooksite is the ferrous-iron-dominant analogue of kentbrooksite with Fe as the predominant element replacing Mn. Kentbrooksite is the Mn-REE-Nb-F end member in a solid solution series between eudialyte (s. s.) and ferrokentbrooksite, with an extension to oneillite (Johnsen et al. 1998, Johnsen et al. 1999, Johnsen et al. 2003a), as well as to carbokentbrooksite and zirsilite-(Ce) (Khomyakov et al. 2003). Carbokentbrooksite has a significant content of carbonate and Na > REE for the N4 site, while zirsilite-(Ce) has REE > Na (with Ce predominant) for the N4 site.
