The information given here is provided by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification 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.
Citation details concern the fact that this information will be published in
the
It is still a requirement for the authors to publish a full description of the new mineral.
