IMA Classification of LindströmiteHide

Approved, 'Grandfathered' (first described prior to 1959)
Approval year:
1975
Approval history:
Mumme et al. (1976) outline a proposal that was accepted by the IMA in September 1975. The original formula proposed by Johansson (1924) is thought to have been in error, based on the reinvestigation of the type specimen by Welin (1966).

Classification of LindströmiteHide

2.HB.05a

2 : SULFIDES and SULFOSALTS (sulfides, selenides, tellurides; arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides; sulfarsenites, sulfantimonites, sulfbismuthites, etc.)
H : Sulfosalts of SnS archetype
B : With Cu, Ag, Fe, Sn and Pb
3.4.5.7

3 : SULFOSALTS
4 : ø = 3
5.7.5

5 : Sulphosalts - Sulpharsenites and Sulphobismuthites (those containing Sn, Ge,or V are in Section 6)
7 : Sulpharsenites etc. of Pb and other metals

Mineral SymbolsHide

As of 2021 there are now IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols (abbreviations) for each mineral species, useful for tables and diagrams.

Please only use the official IMA–CNMNC symbol. Older variants are listed for historical use only.
