| The ghoseite-root name group belongs to the Sodium-(magnesium-iron-manganese) amphibole subgroup and is defined with A(Na+K+2Ca)< 0.5 apfu, B(NaMn) C0,5 apfu<(Al+Fe3++2Ti) < 1.5 apfu The root-name mineral, ghoseite is defined with Mg, Al and (OH) as the dominant elements. Minerals in this group with other dominant elements are named with pre-fixes in accordance with the guidelines establised in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Name: | Ghoseite are named for Subrata Ghose (b. 1932), Emeritus Professor at the University of Washington, Seattle. Ghoseite was established as a new root name in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature (Root-name 11 in the amphibole nomenclature report).
