NOMENCLATURE PROPOSALS APPROVED IN MARCH 2016
Nomenclature of the perovskite supergroup
A new nomenclature scheme for the perovskite supergroup has been approved by the CNMNC. This hierarchical scheme can be applied to naturally-occurring oxides, fluorides, hydroxides, chlorides, arsenides and silicates. Application of this hierarchical scheme to naturally-occurring minerals results in the recognition of a perovskite supergroup which is divided into stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric perovskite groups, with both groups further divided into single ABX3 or double A2BB’X6 perovskites.
16-B: Partzite (discredited)
Proposal 16-B is accepted, and partzite is discredited. Reinvestigation of the type material shows that it is constituted by a mixture of several phases, which include a member of the plumboroméite group and a chrysocolla-like amorphous phase.
16-C: Parabariomicrolite (discredited)
Proposal 16-C is accepted, and parabariomicrolite is discredited. It corresponds to the polytype hydrokenomicrolite-3R.
