Classification of non-silicate minerals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list gives an overview of the classification of non-silicate minerals and includes mostly IMA recognized
minerals and its groupings. This list complements the alphabetical list on List of minerals (complete) and List
of minerals. Rocks, ores, mineral mixtures, not IMA approved minerals, not named minerals are mostly
excluded. Mostly major groups only, or groupings used by New Dana Classification and Mindat.

Classification of minerals
Introduction

The grouping of the New Dana Classification and of the mindat.org is similar only, and so this classification is
an overview only. Consistency is missing too on the group name endings (group, subgroup, series) between
New Dana Classification and mindat.org. Category, class and supergroup name endings are used as layout tools
in the list as well.

"*" – Mineral not IMA-approved.

"?" – IMA discredited mineral name.
"REE" – Rare-earth element (Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu)
