MITT. 71, 467-472, 1991 New minerals recently approved by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names International Mineralogical Association The information given here is provided by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names, I. M. A. for comparative purposes and as a service to mineralogists working on new species. It is hoped that future lists will be published in the major mineralogical journals on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Each mineral is described in the following format: IMA No. (any relationship to other minerals) Chemical Formula Crystal system, space group unit cell parameters Diaphaneity; lustre; colour Optical properties Strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern The names of these approved species are considered confidential information until the authors have published their descriptions or released information themselves. No other information will be released by the commission J.A.
