Nordite supergroup
The nordite supergroup has been established. It currently includes six mineral species: nordite-(La), nordite-(Ce), ferronordite-(La), ferronordite-(Ce), manganonordite-(Ce), and meieranite. All but the latter species belong to the nordite group within the nordite supergroup. Meieranite is an unassigned member of the nordite supergroup.
NOMENCLATURE/CLASSIFICATION PROPOSALS APPROVED IN MARCH 2021
IMA 20-G: Redefinition of philipsburgite
Proposal 20-G is accepted. Philipsburgite shows an ordered distribution of As and P over two symmetrically independent tetrahedral sites and, therefore, is redefined with the new crystal-chemical formula Cu5Zn(AsO4)(PO4)(OH)6⋅H2O.
IMA 20-H: Redefinition of lazurite
Proposal 20-H is accepted, and lazurite is redefined with the idealized formula Na7Ca(Al6Si6O24)(SO4)(S3)–⋅H2O. The neotype specimen originates from the Malo-Bystrinskoe gem lazurite deposit, Baikal Lake area, eastern Siberia, Russia. It is deposited in the collection of the Sidorov Mineralogical Museum (INRTU), Lermontova St. 83, Irkutsk 664074, Russia, registration number MMU/MF 27914.
IMA 20-I: Redefinition of aldermanite
Proposal 20-I is accepted, and the formula of aldermanite is revised to account for essential Na in the structure, and for minor F substitution for OH. The simplified formula becomes [Mg(H2O)6][Na(H2O)2Al3(PO4)2(OH,F)6]⋅H2O, corresponding to the ideal end-member formula [Mg(H2O)6][Na(H2O)2Al3(PO4)2(OH)6]⋅H2O.
REVISED CHEMICAL FORMULAE
Sakhaite and harkerite
In the IMA List of Minerals the formula for sakhaite is given as Ca48Mg16Al(SiO3OH)4(CO3)16(BO3)28⋅(H2O)3(HCl)3. This formula is mirrored from the 2008 Nickel-Nichols list, is not charge-balanced, and has an obscure origin. Actually in the original description of holotype sakhaite [Zap. Vses. Miner. Obsh., 95 (1966), 193–202; Am. Mineral., 51 (1966), 1815–1820], as well as in a subsequent crystal structure study [Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR, 239 (1978), 1103–1106], the mineral is given as Al-Si-free.
Sakhaite is closely related to harkerite. A recent detailed study of the sakhaite-harkerite solid solution, based on 14 single-crystal structure refinements [Am. Mineral., 103 (2018), 1749–1760], shows that the two minerals are related by the substitution of four (BO3) triangles by a pentamer formed by one (AlO4) + four (SiO4) tetrahedra (with one oxygen atom protonated).
The two end-member compositions can be taken as the ideal formulae for harkerite and sakhaite, as follows:
harkerite: Ca48Mg16[AlSi4O15(OH)]4(BO3)16(CO3)16⋅2(H2O,HCl)
sakhaite: Ca48Mg16(BO3)32(CO3)16⋅2(H2O,HCl)
The formulae of harkerite and sakhaite have been modified in the IMA List of Minerals accordingly.
Tiettaite
A paper on the mineral tiettaite has been recently published [Crystallogr. Rep., 66 (2021), 76–85] in which the ideal chemical formula of the mineral is given as K4Na12Fe3+2Si16O41(OH)4⋅2H2O, based on a combined Rietveld and EPMA study carried out on a sample of tiettaite after a new finding from the type locality. With respect to the previously accepted formula, potassium is an essential constituent, and titanium is not an essential constituent anymore. The crystal structure of tiettaite has been refined for the first time, and shows that there are two sites occupied by K and four sites occupied by Na. Moreover there is a single octahedral site which is occupied mainly by Fe3+, with very minor Ti. Also in holotype tiettaite it is invariably Fe3+ > Ti. These data were examined carefully by the CNMNC officers and were considered reliable. Accordingly it was agreed to modify the formula of tiettaite in the official IMA List of Minerals.
