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 MARCH 2022

IMA 22-A: Redefinition of montanite

Proposal 22-A is accepted, and the status of montanite is changed from ‘Q’ to ‘Rd’. The formula of montanite is modified from Bi2TeO6⋅2H2O to Bi2TeO6⋅nH2O (0 ≤ n ≤ ⅔), and two neotypes, preserved at the Natural History Museum in London, UK, are created. Type localities are Highland, Montana, USA (sample BM 85116) and David Beck's Mine, North Carolina, USA (sample BM 1985,Nev336).

IMA 22-B: Redefinition of moxuanxueite
