caption_attribution_description: English: Paratacamite Locality: San Francisco Mine (Beatrix Mine), Caracoles, Sierra Gorda District, Tocopilla Province, Antofagasta Region, Chile (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 10.2 x 5.0 x 3.1 cm. Paratacamite is a relatively uncommon secondary copper chloride, found in especially arid climates. Scintillating forest-green and light green paratacamite microcrystals richly cover the oxidized cabinet-sized rhyolite matrix on this excellent specimen collected by Terry Scenics from near the co-type localities in Chile. Uncommon in this richness. Ex. Terry Szenics Collection. Deutsch: Paratacamit Fundort: San Francisco Mine (Beatrix Mine), Caracoles, Distrikt Sierra Gorda, Provinz Tocopilla, Región de Antofagasta, Chile (Fundort bei mindat.org) Größe: 10.2 x 5.0 x 3.1 cm.
context_page_description: This list includes those recognised minerals beginning with the letters P and Q. The International Mineralogical Association is the international group that recognises new minerals and new mineral names, however minerals discovered before 1959 did not go through the official naming procedure, although some minerals published previously have been either confirmed or discredited since that date. This list contains a mixture of mineral names that have been approved since 1959 and those mineral names believed to still refer to valid mineral species.
  The list is divided into groups:
  Introduction •
  A • B • C • D • E • F • G • H • I • J • K • L • M • N • O • P–Q • R • S • T • U–V • W–X • Y–Z
  The data was exported from mindat.org on 29 April 2005; updated up to 'IMA2019'.
  The minerals are sorted by name, followed by the structural group or chemical class, the year of publication, the IMA approval and the Nickel–Strunz code. The first link is to mindat.org, the second link is to webmineral.com, and the third is to the Handbook of Mineralogy.
  Abbreviations:
  ᴰ – discredited.
  Q – questionable/ doubtful.
