Newsletter 64

The information given here is provided by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification for comparative purposes and as a service to mineralogists working on new species.

Each mineral is described in the following format:

Mineral name, if the authors agree on its release prior to the full description appearing in press

Chemical formula (ideal formula)

Mineral symbol

Type locality

Full authorship of proposal

E-mail address of corresponding author

Relationship to other minerals

Crystal system, Space group; Structure determined, yes or no

Unit-cell parameters

Strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern

Type specimen repository and specimen number

Citation details for the mineral prior to publication of full description

Citation details concern the fact that this information will be published in the Mineralogical Magazine on a routine basis, as well as being added month by month to the Commission's web site.

It is still a requirement for the authors to publish a full description of the new mineral.

NO OTHER INFORMATION WILL BE RELEASED BY THE COMMISSION

NOMENCLATURE/CLASSIFICATION PROPOSALS APPROVED IN NOVEMBER 2021

IMA 21-G: Hiärneite: crystal structure, chemical formula and classification

Proposal 21-G is accepted, and based on SCXRD data the formula of hiärneite is revised from (Ca,Na,Mn²⁺)₂(Zr,Mn³⁺)₅(Sb,Ti,Fe³⁺)₂O₁₆ to Ca₂Zr₄Mn³⁺SbTiO₁₆. Hiärneite belongs to the calzirtite group of minerals, which also includes calzirtite [Ca₂Zr₅Ti₂O₁₆] and the structurally related cubic mineral tazheranite [(Zr,Ti,Ca)(O, □)₂].

IMA 21-H: Redefinition of bixbyite and definition of bixbyite-(Fe) and bixbyite-(Mn)

Proposal 21-H is accepted. The name ‘bixbyite’ becomes a series name for material with a bixbyite structure, space group Ia $\overline 3$, and Fe³⁺ or Mn³⁺ as the dominant trivalent cation (it also includes the orthorhombic polytype of Mn₂O₃, with space group Pcab). Bixbyite-(Fe) is defined as the Fe³⁺ dominant part of the series, with an ideal formula (Fe,Mn)₂O₃, and bixbyite-(Mn) is defined as the Mn³⁺ dominant part of the series, with an ideal formula Mn₂O₃.
