NEW MINERAL APPROVALS WITHDRAWN IN JANUARY 2013
IMA No. 2009-088
Chromo-alumino-povondraite
Susequent analytical work undertaken by the
authors show this material to be a chromdravite.
NEW MINERAL APPROVALS Withdrawn in
APRIL 2013
IMA No. 2011-096
Fuxiaotuite
Approval for the name of this mineral has been
withdrawn. The mineral itself retains its
previous approval.
APPROVED NOMENCLATURE CHANGES IN FEBRUARY 2013
IMA No. 2011-035
Ferrikaersutite
The proposal 2011-035 was approved in 2011
(see CNMNC Newsletter 10). The approved
name has been changed to oxo-magnesiohastingsite,
to be consistent with the new
amphibole nomenclature. The endmember
formula of oxo-magnesio-hastingsite is
NaCa2(Mg2Fe3+3)(Si6Al2)O22O2.
NOMENCLATURE PROPOSAL APPROVED IN MARCH 2013
IMA 13-A: A new root-name for the amphibole
composition □Mn2+2Fe2+5Si8O22(OH)2
In the newly-approved amphibole report, the use
of the prefix mangano- for Mn2+ dominant as the
B cation has been abolished. Accordingly, the
mineral with endmember composition
Mn2+2Fe2+5Si8O22(OH)2, formerly described as
proto-mangano-ferro-anthophyllite (IMA No.
1986-007), and mentioned as ‘‘ferro-rootname3’’
in the amphibole report, deserves a new root
name. The composition Mn2+2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2,
mentioned as ‘‘rootname3’’ in the amphibole
report, is now assigned the name suenoite, in
memory of the late Professor Shigeho Sueno (d.
2001), who described the new mineral IMA No.
1986-037; this now becomes proto-ferrosuenoite.
The proto- and ferro- prefixes are for
the Pnmn symmetry and for the Fe2+ dominance
among C cations, respectively.
NOMENCLATURE PROPOSAL APPROVED IN MAY 2013
IMA 13-B: Revision of the chemical
formula of comancheite
On the basis of a single crystal X-ray diffraction
study, it has been shown that the accepted
chemical formula of the mineral comancheite is
incorrect. Comancheite was described in 1981
as a mercury oxychloride-bromide with formula
Hg13(Cl,Br)8O9. It is in fact a mercury nitride
with formula Hg2+55N3–24(NH2,OH)4(Cl,Br)34.

great work - as allways.
Is the formula of IMA No. 2013-017 (Ophirite) real and in which group/supergroup will we find this mineral? Sorry for my silly question!

Yes. See the photo below:

the balls-cluster of spiky xls shown on Jason's pics, seems very different from the new acicular As-Ca arsenate posted by Tony. I may suggest that those colorless light bluish owned by Jason, could still be Ruffite or Mansfieldite.
Sometimes we have collected Ruffite gathering together as balls-like xls. The Joteite is NOT in paregenesis with Ruffite, since it has been found in a different pocket of the adit. Those green aggregates shown on the second Tony's pic is another of our challenges: till now we haven't been able to collect decent xls of that new Cu arsenate.
Hope that I could give a littke contribution.
At your disposal for any further questions

try to get closer pictures of your bluish colorless ball-like needles. I need to know more about them, since the Ca-Al-As acicular phase has been found in another area of the adit: till now we never found them with ruffite. this of course is not a rule, but it's a parameter.
Maybe will need to discuss it by email, here is mine:

triclinic with R-3m this does not fit together. R-3m = trigonal
R-3m seems to be wrong?
IMA 13-A
IMA No. 1986-037 = ammonioalunite and is an alunite and should now become the amphibole proto-ferrosuenoite? Maybe i misunderstood something here, but this seems to be wrong.
Glück Auf

Definitely an incorrect IMA number, though I can't locate the correct one.

1986-007 was proto-mangano-ferro-anthophyllite (now ferrosuenoite)
now proto-ferrosuenoite ;-)
6th Aug 2013 15:06 UTCAntonio Borrelli Expert
Should be proto-ferro-suenoite.
7th Aug 2013 07:02 UTCHans Kloster
IMA 1986:
6 Protoferro-anthophyllite, now proto-ferrosuenoite
7 Protomangano-ferro-anthophyllite, now suenoite or ferrosuenoite

In the amhibole report (Hawthorne et.al 2012), the "rootname 3" corresponds to the monoclinic amphibole, (i.e cummingtonite/grunerite series), and the composition Mn2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2 corresponds to the mineral previously known as manganocummingtonite and ferro-rootname3 would then be the mineral previously known as manganogruenerite.
The IMA 13A describes "rootname 3" as an orthorhombic amphibole ( i.e anthophyllite/gedrite series) with the composition Mn2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2. The IMA nomenclature report has no rootname for an orthorhombic amphibole with such composition as far as I can see.
Would suenoite then refer to the orthorhombic or monoclinic amphibole of composition Mn2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2? If it is meant to refer to the orthorhombic amphibole, what should we then call the monoclinic amphibole of this composition, referred to as rootname 3 in the amphibole nomenclature report?
