I have now done first draft of all the amphibole-series that makes sense(?) to include as separate articles, see

Actinolite
Anthophyllite
Arfvedsonite
Cummingtonite
Edenite
Gedrite
Glaucophane
Grunerite
Hastingsite
Hornblende
Kaersutite
Katophorite
Pargasite
Richterite
Riebeckite
Tschermakite
Tremolite
Winchite

I plan to include the reminding, even more obscure amphiboles, in a set of group/subgroup articles like the one started:

Amphibole-group

As IMA now has agreed upon and approved a new standard for amphibole nomenclature, I will not do any more work on the ampiboles until this standard has been published. After this has been published I plan to revisit the above articles to align them with the new nomenclature, and to expand the group article.

In the mean time, I will continue to work on the corundum articles.

Olav,
Are you sure you are working less than the permitted 60 hours a week on Mindat?
