IMA 25-C – formal discreditation of “eosite” and “collieite”

(Michael S. Rumsey)

Proposal 25-C is accepted, and the terms “eosite” and “collieite”, obsolete names referring to vanadium-bearing varieties of wulfenite and pyromorphite, respectively, are formally discredited.

4.1 Milarite supergroup

(Frank C. Hawthorne, Elena Sokolova, and Adam Pieczka)

The milarite supergroup has been established. It includes the sogdianite group, the milarite group, the roedderite group, the dusmatovite group, and the armenite group.

4.2 Kassite group

(Nester Korolev and Sergey V. Krivovichev)

The kassite group has been established. It includes the minerals kassite, lucasite-(Ce), lucasite-(La), and rosiaite.

4.3 Paulkerrite group (amendment)

(Ian E. Grey, Anthony R. Kampf, Christian Rewitzer, and Rupert Hochleitner)

The proposed amendment for the paulkerrite group has been accepted. It supersedes the previously accepted nomenclature (Grey, I.E., Boer, S., MacRae, C.M., Wilson, N.C., Mumme, W.G., Bosi, F.: Crystal-chemistry of type paulkerrite and establishment of the paulkerrite group nomenclature. European Journal of Mineralogy, 35, 909-919 (2023)). The amendment resulted in the approval of the name bergbauerite for the new mineral IMA 2025-033 (see this Newsletter) instead of the unwieldy, double-prefixed name “hydrohydroxylmacraeite” that would have come out after the old nomenclature scheme.

4.4 IMA 25-A – ferropseudobrookite (approval), armalcolite (redefinition), pseudobrookite group (establishment)

(Andrew J. Locock, Christopher D.K. Herd, Chi Ma, Matthew Steele-Macinnis, and Robert W. Luth)

Proposal 25-A is accepted. The end-member formula of armalcolite is redefined as MgTi${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{4}+}$O₅ (neotype from Disko Island, Greenland, sample 176411, Natural History Museum of Denmark), and ferropseudobrookite is defined as a new mineral species with the end-member formula Fe²⁺Ti${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{4}+}$O₅ (holotype from Disko Island, Greenland, sample 176486, Natural History Museum of Denmark). A neotype sample has been designated for pseudobrookite, Fe${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{3}+}$Ti⁴⁺O₅, from the original locality of Măgura Uroiului, near the town of Simeria, Romania (sample Á.59.6103, Hungarian Natural History Museum). The pseudobrookite group consists of orthorhombic oxides with the general formula M₃O₅ and includes the five following species: pseudobrookite, Fe${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{3}+}$Ti⁴⁺O₅; armalcolite, MgTi${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{4}+}$O₅; ferropseudobrookite, Fe²⁺Ti${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{4}+}$O₅; griffinite, Al₂Ti⁴⁺O₅; and sassite, Ti${}_{\mathrm{2}}^{\mathrm{3}+}$Ti⁴⁺O₅.

4.5 IMA 25-E – hydrohalloysite (discreditation) and halloysite (redefinion)

(Bruno Lanson)

Proposal 25-E is accepted. Hydrohalloysite is discredited, and halloysite is redefined as having the chemical formula Si₂Al₂O₅(OH)₄ ⋅ nH₂O.

4.6 IMA 25-F – redefinition of natrodufrénite

(Jaromír Tvrdý, Radek Škoda, Lenka Skřápková, Pierre-Jacques Chiappero, Gwladys Steciuk, Jan Filip, Jan Cempírek, and Dominik Talla)

Proposal 25-F is accepted, and the formula of natrodufrénite is changed to NaFe³⁺Fe${}_{\mathrm{5}}^{\mathrm{3}+}$(PO₄)₄O(OH)₅(H₂O)₂.

4.7 IMA 25-G – discreditation of shubnikovite

(Anatoly V. Kasatkin, Jakub Plášil, Vladislav V. Gurzhiy, Radek Škoda, Nikita V. Chukanov, Dmitriy I. Belakovskiy, Atali A. Agakhanov, Gwladys Steciuk, and Svetlana O. Ryzhkova)

Proposal 25-G is accepted, and shubnikovite is discredited since it corresponds to a mixture of lavendulan and richelsdorfite.

5.1 Revised formula for haxonite

The formula of haxonite is currently reported in the IMA List of Minerals as (Fe,Ni)₂₃C₆. Recent chemical and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (https://doi.org/10.2138/am-2025-10067) show that Ni occupies a single crystallographic site, resulting in the ideal formula NiFe₂₂C₆. As no chemical elements are added or removed, this change is approved executively by the CNMNC officers.
