Classification of non-silicate minerals
This list gives an overview of the classification of non-silicate minerals and includes mostly International Mineralogical Association (IMA) recognized minerals and its groupings. This list complements the List of minerals recognized by the International Mineralogical Association series of articles and List of minerals. Rocks, ores, mineral mixtures, not IMA approved minerals, not named minerals are mostly excluded. Mostly major groups only, or groupings used by "New Dana Classification" and "Mindat". Classification of minerals. Introduction. The grouping of the New Dana Classification and of the mindat.org is similar only, and so this classification is an  overview only. Consistency is missing too on the group name endings (group, subgroup, series) between New Dana Classification and mindat.org. Category, class and supergroup name endings are used as layout tools in the list as well. Category 04. Nickel-Strunz 04.DH mineral family. IMA/CMNMC revised the Pyrochlore supergroup 2010. Class: Hydroxides and oxides containing hydroxyl.
