ⓘ Andradite
Formula: Ca3Fe3+2(SiO4)3
ⓘ Augite
Formula: (CaxMgyFez)(Mgy1Fez1)Si2O6
ⓘ 'Biotite'
Formula: K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2
ⓘ Birnessite
Formula: (Na,Ca)0.5(Mn4+,Mn3+)2O4 · 1.5H2O
ⓘ Dolomite
Formula: CaMg(CO3)2
ⓘ Dorrite
Formula: Ca4(Mg3Fe3+9)O4(Si3Al8Fe3+O36)
Habit: club-shaped twins
Colour: red
Description: Found by G. Blaß. Analysis gave a titanium content of 0.64 to 0.68 atoms per formula unit from 28 cations. These crystals, therefore, are dorrite since a maximum titanium content limit of 1 atom per formula unit from 28 cations has been established in the nomenclature.
ⓘ Forsterite
Formula: Mg2SiO4
ⓘ Haüyne
Formula: Na3Ca(Si3Al3)O12(SO4)
ⓘ Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3

Formula: (Mg,Fe)SiO3
ⓘ Leucite
Formula: K(AlSi2O6)
ⓘ Magnetite
Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4
ⓘ 'Manganogel'
Formula: ~MnO2 · nH2O
ⓘ Nepheline
Formula: Na3K(Al4Si4O16)
ⓘ Nosean
Formula: Na8(Al6Si6O24)(SO4) · H2O
ⓘ Pseudobrookite
Formula: Fe2TiO5
ⓘ Rhönite
