Editor(s): Sergey Krivovichev, Ferdinando Bosi, Cristian Biagioni, Cristiano Ferraris, Edward Grew, and Dmitry PushcharovskyMore information
This special issue was initiated by Ferdinando Bosi, Chairman of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC). It is intended to support the community working not only on the discovery of new minerals but also on mineral nomenclature and classification. This community is at the core of mineralogy, and the European Journal of Mineralogy fully supports its work. Manuscripts submitted to this special issue will be published for free.

Short summary
Short summary
Dutrowite is the first tourmaline supergroup minerals having Ti as a species-defining chemical constituent. Its finding improves our knowledge on the crystal chemistry of this important mineral group and allows us to achieve a better picture of the mechanisms favouring the incorporation of Ti.
