- http://www.mindat.org/min-3490.html. The situation is similar to one, if somebody found new sulphosalt on Labrador peninsula and name it labradorite. Where was IMA and its voting for mineral names? Where were russian members of IMA?

This simply depends on the sequence chosen (2+ 4 or 4 2+) when persons type in the formula with super- and subscripts.
(AFAIK, different journals prefer different sequences ...).
Only losing the formatting by copy-paste results in possible misunderstanding.
EDIT: Addendum: The original PDF has the 2+ directly above the 4.

Looks like (unless the compound is dimorphous).
"Member of Perovskite group without O ??"
There are countless synthetic perovskites which do not contain O.

Why is neighborite NaMgF3 a member of the own group neighborite, for example? The structure of neighborite should be similar to perovskite CaTiO3 and is chemical much closer to parascandolaite KMgF3. Should neighborite also become a member of the perovskite group or shouldn't parascandolaite better be a member of the neighborite group?
