Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established. This contribution presents the first International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) approved collection of 5744 mineral name abbreviations by combining four methods of nomenclature based on the Kretz symbol approach. The collection incorporates 991…

The new mineral zoisite-(Pb), ideally CaPbAl3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH), was discovered in a sample from the Jakobsberg manganese-iron oxide deposit, Värmland, Sweden. Zoisite-(Pb) is found as pale pink…
Textural and compositional evolution of niobium minerals in the Miaoya carbonatite-hosted REE-Nb deposit from the South Qinling Orogen of central China
The Miaoya carbonatite complex in the South Qinling Orogen hosts one of the largest REE-Nb deposits in China. The origin and evolution of REE enrichment in this Silurian intrusion have been…
Genetic implications from textures, mineralogy, and geochemistry: the case of Zona Basal–a singular polymetallic occurrence in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Brazil
High-temperature conditions for ore deposition and anomalous abundances of base metals in orogenic gold deposits are frequently attributed to magmatic-hydrothermal fluids instead of metamorphic…
