I hope you did not find my comment rude. I really do appreciate all your effort posting CNMNC news letters and many new publications!

The mineral name for IMA 2013-045 is NOT released from the commission, and this is respectless

and the rules are not follwed as long the authors did not wanted the name to appear on the Newsletter.

10th Oct 2013 18:22 UTCRob Woodside 🌟 Manager

I thought IMA No. 2013-052, Steedeite, had been withdrawn?

10th Oct 2013 20:03 UTCJim Ferraiolo

The mineral was withdrawn, but the name had been approved and could be re-used.

10th Oct 2013 21:11 UTCRob Woodside 🌟 Manager

Thanks Jim, Tony will be happy!

11th Oct 2013 09:51 UTCMarco E. Ciriotti Manager

The withdrawn was for the ex IMA 2010-049: in that case the mineral was not new, but catapleiite.

Is there a pdf about Innsbruckite (Mineralogical Magazine, 77, 2997-3005.) for nonprofessionals like me available?

15th Nov 2013 21:27 UTCAlfredo Petrov Manager

Martin, Go to the Mindat Innsbruckite page and scroll down to the references - There's a clickable link to a newspaper story about innsbruckite, with site photo.

17th Nov 2013 17:01 UTCUwe Kolitsch Manager

Martin: Mineralogical Magazine, 77, 2997-3005 is just the contents of the first posting in this thread.

(By the way, I don't understand why such simple lists are not open access.)

The original description of innsbruckite has not been published yet.

17th Nov 2013 17:32 UTCMartin Rich Expert

Alfredo & Uwe,

thank you for your effords!

Uwe, I agree with you. Ok, I'm not a professional but I'm very interested in the science of mineralogy and it would be great to get access for such papers for people like me.

Thanks, Bela. I was aware of that, but the online PDFs (newsletters) always lag behind and combine several lists. For instance, the above list is not contained in the latest newsletter (no. 16).
