3 Nomenclature/classification proposals approved in January 2022

3.1 Revised formula for lithiomarsturite, LiCaMn3Si5O14(OH)
In the IMA List of Minerals the chemical formula of lithiomarsturite is given as . However, a crystal structure study carried out on holotype material (Am. Mineral., 75, 409–414, 1990) clearly shows that Ca is hosted at the 7-fold coordinated M4 site (M4Ca1.00), whereas Mn is the dominant constituent at the three 6-fold coordinated sites: M1Mn1.00, M2(Mn0.77Ca0.23), and M3Mn1.00. Accordingly, the end-member formula should be written as LiCaMn3Si5O14(OH). This formula matches the formula of the related mineral marsturite, NaCaMn3Si5O14(OH). This is an executive decision taken by the officers of the IMA-CNMNC.

3.2 IMA 21-I: a proposed correction to the formula of rouvilleite

Proposal 21-I is accepted, and the formula of rouvilleite is changed from Na3CaMn2+(CO3)3F to Na3Ca2(CO3)3F.

3.3 IMA 21-J: redefinition of angastonite as an amorphous mineral

Proposal 21-J is accepted, and angastonite is redefined as an amorphous mineral species, with the ideal formula CaMgAl2(PO4)2(OH)4•7H2O.

3.4 IMA 21-K: grandviewite, Cu3Al2(SO4)(OH)10•H2O: proposal for its redefinition

Proposal 21-K is accepted, and grandviewite is redefined as a hydrated copper–aluminum hydroxy-sulfate, having the ideal formula Cu3Al2(SO4)(OH)10•H2O (Z= 2) and a triclinic symmetry, with space group , a= 6.002(3), b= 10.54(3), c= 11.249(8) Å, α= 72.1(2), β= 81.6(6), γ= 86.1(8)∘.

3.5 IMA 21-L: discreditation of luinaite-(OH), (Na,□)(Fe2+,Mg)3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4, a mineral species of the tourmaline supergroup

Proposal 21-L is accepted, and luinaite-(OH) is discredited. This monoclinic tourmaline-type species, with a simplified composition (Na,□)(Fe2+,Mg)3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4, was approved with IMA number 2009-046. It is now considered a structurally similar polymorph of schorl, since it only differs in terms of a slight structural distortion from the typical trigonal tourmaline structure.

Bolotinait hatte ich die Tage schon angelegt bis auf die Abkürzung.

[Stefan]

Kleiner Tip, wenn Du "I-43m" bei Raum­gruppe einträgst füllen sich die Felder darüber automatisch. 

[guefz]

Wird das mit dem Strich oberhalb dann auch automatisch angepasst?

[Stefan]

Ja wird alles angepasst.
