The information given here is provided by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature andClassification for comparative purposes and as a service to mineralogists working on new species.
Each mineral is described in the following format:
Mineral name, if the authors agree on its release prior to the full description appearing in press
Chemical formula
Type locality
Full authorship of proposal
E-mail address of corresponding author
Relationship to other minerals
Crystal system, Space group; Structure determined, yes or no
Unit-cell parameters
Strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern
Type specimen repository and specimen number
Citation details for the mineral prior to publication of full description
It is still a requirement for the authors to publish a full description of the new mineral.
NO OTHER INFORMATION WILL BE RELEASED BY THE COMMISSION
