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 (ideal formula)
-
Mineral symbol
-
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 European Journal of Mineralogy on a routine basis, as well as being added month by month to the commission's website. 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.

3.1 Bukovite: revised formula
Recently, a paper was published (Journal of Geosciences, 68, 179–184, 2023) in which the chemical formula of bukovite was revised from Cu4Tl2Se4 to (Cu3Fe)Tl2Se4 based on a single-crystal structural study. From these data it was shown that copper and thallium occur in bukovite as Cu+ and Tl+; therefore the occurrence of some Fe3+ partially substituting for Cu+ at the unique M site is necessary for charge balance requirements. This represents a further case of valency-imposed double site occupancy. The chemical formula of bukovite has been modified in the IMA List of Minerals accordingly. This is an executive decision taken by the CNMNC officers.
3.2 Renaming of straßmannite to strassmannite
It was agreed to modify the name straßmannite to strassmannite, with “double s” instead of ß – the so-called “Eszett”, which is peculiar to the German alphabet. This is in keeping with a recent CNMNC resolution (Mineralogical Magazine, 87, 225–232, 2023) which aims at rationalizing the mineralogical nomenclature by abolishing Greek letters as well as Arabic and Roman numerals from mineral names. Straßmannite represented the unique case among mineral names in which the Eszett was employed instead of double s. Therefore, for the sake of analogy with fleisstalite, giessenite, günterblassite, mössbauerite, phosphorrösslerite, and rösslerite, the mineral straßmannite – which was approved only 6 years ago – is now renamed strassmannite. This is an executive decision taken by the CNMNC officers.
