The paper is on the new mineral species piilonenite-(Nd), a new Nd-dominate carbonate with no closely related minerals or synthetic compounds from Mont Saint-Hillarie, Canada.

We described two new minerals, igelströmite and manganoschafarzikite, from the Långban manganese–iron deposit in Värmland, Sweden. The chemical formulae are Fe³⁺(Sb³⁺Pb²⁺)O₄ and  Mn²⁺Sb³⁺₂O₄, respectively. They belong to a new mineral group, where all members have the same crystal structure. It is called the minium group, after the lead-oxide mineral that is the oldest known substance of this kind.

The first lanthanum-dominant mckelveyite group mineral, alicewilsonite-(YLa), Na₂Sr₂YLa(CO₃)₆∙3H₂O, was found at the Paratoo copper mine, South Australia, Australia.

We report the description and the characterization of a new mineral species, found in a rock sample from the geological formation called the Pilanesberg Complex, South Africa. This is a silicate mineral that contains a significant amount of sodium, calcium, iron, titanium and fluorine. Its atomic structure shows that it is related to other wöhlerite-group minerals. This work provides new insights into the crystallization conditions that ruled the formation of the Pilanesberg complex.

A new mineral group – the mckelveyite group – consisting of seven carbonate minerals was established. One of the seven members, donnayite-(Y), was re-investigated and its belonging to the mckelveyite group was confirmed.
