Mineral Names, Redefinitions & Discreditations Passed by the CNMMN of The 9 February 2004 – Note to our readers: We welcome your comments and criticism. If you are reporting substantive changes, errors or omissions, please provide us with a literature reference so we can confirm what you have suggested. Thanks! Mineral Names, Redefinitions & Discreditations Passed by the CNMMN of the IMA Ernie Nickel & Monte Nichols [email protected] & [email protected] Aleph Enterprises PO Box 213 Livermore, California 94551 USA This list contains minerals derived from the Materials Data, Inc. MINERAL Database and was produced expressly for the use of the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names (CNMMN) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). All rights to the use of the data presented here, either printed or electronic, rest with Materials Data, Inc. Minerals presented include those voted as “approved” (A), “redefined or renamed” (R) and “discredited” (D) species by the CNMMN as well as a number of former mineral names the CNMMN decided would better be used as group names (g). Their abbreviated symbol appears at the left margin. Minerals in the MINERAL Database which have been designated as “Q” (questionable minerals, not approved by the CNMMN), as “G” (“golden or grandfathered” minerals described in the past and generally believed to represent valid species names), as “U” (unnamed), as “N” (not approved by the CNMMN) and as “P” (polymorphs) have not been included as part of this listing. These minerals can be found in the Free MINERAL Database now being distributed by Materials Data, Inc ([email protected] and http://www.materialsdata.com) for just the cost of making and shipping the CD or without any cost whatever when downloaded directly from the Materials Data website. While we strive to include the “best” formula, the reference supplied for each mineral is for the published announcement of the CNMMN decision regarding the mineral’s status rather than to what might be considered the “key” reference for the mineral. In the MINERAL database the “key” reference is always listed first followed by the other references. We have chosen not to use journal abbreviations here or in the MINERAL database to avoid confusion and to facilitate finding the information. We wish to thank the CNMMN members who offered constructive criticisms of the data in these lists and especially Giovanni Ferraris and Ernst Burke who helped greatly with diacritically marked names and references and by carefully reviewing the final manuscript. Of course any remaining errors are ours. Page 1 c 2004 by Materials Data, Inc. (http://www.materialsdata.com) A Abelsonite .........................

    MINERALS SORTED BY NAME Here is an alphabetical list of minerals discussed on this site. More information on and photographs of these minerals in Kentucky is available in the book “Rocks and Minerals of Kentucky” (Anderson, 1994). APATITE Crystal system: hexagonal. Fracture: conchoidal. Color: red, brown, white. Hardness: 5.0. Luster: opaque or semitransparent. Specific gravity: 3.1. Apatite, also called cellophane, occurs in peridotites in eastern and western Kentucky. A microcrystalline variety of collophane found in northern Woodford County is dark reddish brown, porous, and occurs in phosphatic beds, lenses, and nodules in the Tanglewood Member of the Lexington Limestone. Some fossils in the Tanglewood Member are coated with phosphate. Beds are generally very thin, but occasionally several feet thick. The Woodford County phosphate beds were mined during the early 1900s near Wallace, Ky. BARITE Crystal system: orthorhombic. Cleavage: often in groups of platy or tabular crystals. Color: usually white, but may be light shades of blue, brown, yellow, or red. Hardness: 3.0 to 3.5. Streak: white. Luster: vitreous to pearly. Specific gravity: 4.5. Tenacity: brittle. Uses: in heavy muds in oil-well drilling, to increase brilliance in the glass-making industry, as filler for paper, cosmetics, textiles, linoleum, rubber goods, paints. Barite generally occurs in a white massive variety (often appearing earthy when weathered), although some clear to bluish, bladed barite crystals have been observed in several vein deposits in central Kentucky, and commonly occurs as a solid solution series with celestite where barium and strontium can substitute for each other. Various nodular zones have been observed in Silurian–Devonian rocks in east-central Kentucky.

  • In-Situ Mno2 Electrodeposition and Its Negative Impact to Rechargeable Zinc Manganese Dioxide Batteries
    In-situ MnO2 Electrodeposition and its Negative Impact to Rechargeable Zinc Manganese Dioxide Batteries by Rui Lin Liang A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering (Nanotechnology) Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 2018 © Rui Lin Liang 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Achieving high rechargeability with the economically feasible and environmentally friendly Zn-MnO2 batteries has been the goal of many scientists in the past half century. Recently, the stability of the system saw a significant improvement through adaptation of mildly acidic electrolyte with Mn2+ additives that prevent dissolution of the active cathode materials, MnO2. With the new design strategy, breakthroughs were made with the battery life span, as the lab scale batteries operated with minimal degradation for over a thousand cycles of charge and discharge at high C- rate ( >5C ) cycling. However, low C-rate operation of these batteries is still limited to 100 cycles, but has not been a focal point of the research efforts. Furthermore, the electrochemical reactions within the battery system are still under debate and many questions remain to be answered. An interesting phenomenon investigated in this thesis about the mildly acidic Zn- MnO2 battery systems is their tendency to experience capacity growth caused by formation of new active material through Mn2+ electrodeposition.

Origins-of-life models that rely on minerals for catalysis, selection, concentration, protection, or other processes must employ plausible prebiotic mineral species. List of 420 Mineral Species R. M. Hazen (2013) “Paleomineralogy of the Hadean Eon: A Preliminary List” American Journal of Science, in press. What Is Mineral Evolution? A change over time in: • The diversity of mineral species • The relative abundances of minerals • The compositional ranges of minerals • The grain sizes and morphologies of minerals “Ur”-Mineralogy Pre-solar grains contain about a dozen micro- and nano-mineral phases: • Diamond/Lonsdaleite • Graphite (C) • Moissanite (SiC) • Osbornite (TiN) • Nierite (Si3N4) • Rutile (TiO2) • Corundum (Al O ) 2 3 • Spinel (MgAl2O4) • Hibbonite (CaAl12O19) • Forsterite (Mg2SiO4) • Nano-particles of TiC, ZrC, MoC, FeC, Fe-Ni metal within graphite. • GEMS (silicate glass with embedded metal and sulfide). Mineral Evolution: How did we get from a dozen minerals to >4700 on Earth today? What minerals were not present at the origin of life (~4.0 Ga), and why?

Shchipalkina ([email protected]) Received: 19 June 2019 – Accepted: 1 November 2019 – Published: 29 January 2020 Abstract. This is the initial paper in a pair of articles devoted to silicate minerals from fumaroles of the Tol- bachik volcano (Kamchatka, Russia). These papers contain the first systematic data on silicate mineralization of fumarolic genesis. In this article nesosilicates (forsterite, andradite and titanite), cyclosilicate (a Cu,Zn- rich analogue of roedderite), inosilicates (enstatite, clinoenstatite, diopside, aegirine, aegirine-augite, esseneite, “Cu,Mg-pyroxene”, wollastonite, potassic-fluoro-magnesio-arfvedsonite, potassic-fluoro-richterite and litidion- ite) and phyllosilicates (fluorophlogopite, yanzhuminite, “fluoreastonite” and the Sn analogue of dalyite) are characterized with a focus on chemistry, crystal-chemical features and occurrence.

  • Carbon Mineral Ecology: Predicting the Undiscovered Minerals of Carbon
    American Mineralogist, Volume 101, pages 889–906, 2016 Carbon mineral ecology: Predicting the undiscovered minerals of carbon ROBERT M. HAZEN1,*, DANIEL R. HUMMER1, GRETHE HYSTAD2, ROBERT T.

GOLDEN3 1Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution, 5251 Broad Branch Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20015, U.S.A. 2Department of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics, Purdue University Calumet, Hammond, Indiana 46323, U.S.A. 3Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, 1040 East 4th Street, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0077, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Studies in mineral ecology exploit mineralogical databases to document diversity-distribution rela- tionships of minerals—relationships that are integral to characterizing “Earth-like” planets. As carbon is the most crucial element to life on Earth, as well as one of the defining constituents of a planet’s near-surface mineralogy, we focus here on the diversity and distribution of carbon-bearing minerals. We applied a Large Number of Rare Events (LNRE) model to the 403 known minerals of carbon, using 82 922 mineral species/locality data tabulated in http://mindat.org (as of 1 January 2015). We find that all carbon-bearing minerals, as well as subsets containing C with O, H, Ca, or Na, conform to LNRE distributions. Our model predicts that at least 548 C minerals exist on Earth today, indicating that at least 145 carbon-bearing mineral species have yet to be discovered. Furthermore, by analyzing subsets of the most common additional elements in carbon-bearing minerals (i.e., 378 C + O species; 282 C + H species; 133 C + Ca species; and 100 C + Na species), we predict that approximately 129 of these missing carbon minerals contain oxygen, 118 contain hydrogen, 52 contain calcium, and more than 60 contain sodium.
