NOMENCLATURE PROPOSALS APPROVED IN JULY 2015

IMA 15-A:
Anatacamite (discredited)
Proposal 15-A is accepted, and anatacamite is officially discredited.

IMA 15-B:
Magnesioastrophyllite and astrophyllite supergroup Proposal 15-B is accepted, and ‘‘magnesioastrophyllite’’ is validated under the name lobanovite, K2Na(Fe2+4Mg2Na)Ti2(Si4O12)2O2(OH)4. According to the new classification scheme, the astrophyllite supergroup is now divided in three groups: the astrophyllite group, the kupletskite group, and the devitoite group.

IMA 15-J:
Hydrotalcite neotypes Proposal 15-J is accepted, and the hydrotalcite samples MFN_MIN_1998_2751 and MFN_MIN_1998_2758, labelled by Gustav Rose and deposited at the Museum fü r Naturkunde Berlin, are defined as neotypes. The type locality is Snarum, Modum, Buskerud, Norway.

Nomenclature of epidotes 
A proposal concerning nomeclature within the epidote supergroup is accepted, and the names hancockite, niigataite and tweddillite are reinstated  instead of epidote-(Pb), clinozoisite-(Sr)and manganipiemontite-(Sr), respectively.

Garronite:
change in nomenclature After the approval of the new mineral garronite-Na (IMA 2015-015, see above), the name ‘‘garronite’’ becomes a series name, and the mineral formerly referred to as garronite is renamed garronite-Ca.

Hello Alfredo,
congratulation for your mineral!

Alfredopetrovite

And also congratulation to Marco E. Ciriotti who always posts this mineral list first.

Ciriottiite

Cheers Stefan

Garronite-Na wird als zugehörig zur Zeolith-Supergruppe angegeben.

Es gibt m.E. aber nur eine Zeolith-Gruppe und dort gehört Garronite-Na und zur "Garronit-Serie" oder hab ich hier was verpasst?
