Classification of silicate minerals
open-in-new
<h2 id="classification-of-minerals">Classification of minerals</h2> <h3>Introduction</h3> <p>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. </p> <h4>Abbreviations</h4> <ul><li>"*" – mineral not IMA-approved.</li> <li>"Q" – doubtful/questionable.</li> <li>Rn – renaming.</li> <li>Rd – redefinition.</li> <li>"REE" – <a href="/facts/Rare-earth_element/PQSUQumk">rare-earth element</a> (Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu).</li> <li>"PGE" – <a href="/facts/Platinum_group/pbDgst54">platinum-group element</a> (Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt).</li> <li>"s.p." – special procedure.</li></ul> <h3>Category '9': silicate minerals</h3> <p class="note">Main category: Silicate minerals</p> <ul><li>Unclassified silicates</li></ul> <h4>Subclass '9.A': nesosilicates</h4> <p class="note">Main category: Nesosilicates</p> <ul><li>Zircon group: MSiO4 (a group of simple tetragonal silicates where M = tetravalent Zr, Th, or Hf) <ul><li><a href="/facts/Hafnon/AYEWzlDy">Hafnon</a> HfSiO4, Stetindite Ce[SiO4], <a href="/facts/Thorite/R8V3QAob">Thorite</a> (Th,U)SiO4, <a href="/facts/Zircon/84APfbLt">Zircon</a> ZrSiO4, <a href="/facts/Coffinite/884Kv93b">Coffinite</a> U(SiO4)1−<i>x</i>(OH)4<i>x</i>, Thorogummite Th(SiO4)1−<i>x</i>(OH)4<i>x</i>, IMA2008-035 CeSiO4</li></ul></li> <li>Olivine group <ul><li>Calcio-Olivine Ca2SiO4, <a href="/facts/Fayalite/UaPIeQRs">Fayalite</a> (Fe2+)2[SiO4], <a href="/facts/Forsterite/Qg1HDy5q">Forsterite</a> Mg2[SiO4], Laihunite Fe2+(Fe3+)2(SiO4)2, Liebenbergite (Ni,Mg)2[SiO4], <a href="/facts/Olivine/tLLL4rae">Olivine</a> (Mg,Fe2+)2[SiO4], <a href="/facts/Tephroite/sxWFxwxu">Tephroite</a> (Mn2+)2[SiO4]</li></ul></li> <li>Phenakite group <ul><li><a href="/facts/Phenakite/f7w8BeD5">Phenakite</a> Be2SiO4, <a href="/facts/Willemite/Gem8lHSH">Willemite</a> Zn2SiO4, <a href="/facts/Eucryptite/gE2UuDkU">Eucryptite</a> LiAlSiO4</li></ul></li> <li>Al2(SiO4)O <ul><li>Sillimanite subgroup <ul><li><a href="/facts/Sillimanite/tvRWztkf">Sillimanite</a> Al[6]Al[4]OSiO4, <a href="/facts/Mullite/BXhyUN8z">Mullite</a> Al(4+2<i>x</i>)Si(2−2<i>x</i>)O(10−<i>x</i>) (<i>x</i>=0.17 to 0.59), Boromullite Al4.5SiB0.5O9.5</li></ul></li> <li>Andalusite subgroup <ul><li><a href="/facts/Andalusite/yBupEb1j">Andalusite</a> Al[6]Al[5]OSiO4, <a href="/facts/Kanonaite/yBupEb1j">Kanonaite</a> (Mn3+,Al)AlSiO5, Yoderite Mg2(Al,Fe3+)6Si4O18(OH)2</li></ul></li> <li><a href="/facts/Kyanite/hYsGBwc3">Kyanite</a> Al[6]Al[6]OSiO4</li></ul></li> <li>Titanite group <ul><li><a href="/facts/Titanite/h9l6Xqt8">Titanite</a> CaTiSiO5, <a href="/facts/Malayaite/SdK5tMLG">Malayaite</a> CaSnOSiO4, Vanadomalayaite CaVOSiO4</li></ul></li> <li>Cerite group <ul><li><a href="/facts/Cerite/KJvUo0Er">Cerite</a>-(Ce) (Ce3+)9Fe3+(SiO4)6[(SiO3)(OH)](OH)3, Cerite-(La) (La,Ce,Ca)9(Mg,Fe3+)(SiO4)6[SiO3(OH)](OH)3, Aluminocerite-(Ce) (Ce,REE,Ca)9(Al,Fe3+)(SiO4)3[SiO3(OH)]4(OH)3</li></ul></li> <li>Silicate apatites <ul><li>Ellestadite* Ca5(SiO4,PO4,SO4)3(F,OH,Cl), <a href="/facts/Britholite/2msaGwRH">Britholite</a>-(Ce) (Ce,Ca,Th,La,Nd)5(SiO4,PO4)3(OH,F), Britholite-(Y) (Y,Ca)5(SiO4,PO4)3(OH,F), <a href="/facts/Ellestadite/3jIjIYzo">Ellestadite</a>-(F) Ca5(SiO4,PO4,SO4)3(F,OH,Cl), Ellestadite-(OH) Ca5(SiO4,SO4)3(OH,Cl,F), Ellestadite-(Cl) Ca5(SiO4,PO4,SO4)3(Cl,OH,F), Mattheddleite Pb20(SiO4)7(SO4)4Cl4, Karnasurtite-(Ce) (Ce,La,Th)(Ti,Nb)(Al,Fe3+)(Si,P)2O7(OH)4·3(H2O) (?), Fluorbritholite-(Ce) (Ca,Ce,La,Na)5(SiO4,PO4)3(OH,F), Fluorcalciobritholite (Ca,REE)5[(Si,P)O4]3F</li></ul></li> <li>Uranophane group <ul><li><a href="/facts/Kasolite/k59lApJ4">Kasolite</a> Pb(UO2)SiO4·H2O, <a href="/facts/Uranophane/V4Uqr6Gt">Uranophane</a> Ca(UO2)2SiO3(OH)2·5H2O, <a href="/facts/Sklodowskite/c6qv4GsX">Sklodowskite</a> (H3O)2Mg(UO2)2(SiO4)2·4H2O, <a href="/facts/Cuprosklodowskite/Dm3C3kIg">Cuprosklodowskite</a> Cu[(UO2)(SiO2OH)]2·6H2O, <a href="/facts/Boltwoodite/QondqJWD">Boltwoodite</a> HK(UO2)(SiO4)·1.5H2O, Natroboltwoodite (H3O)(Na,K)(UO2)SiO4·H2O, Oursinite (Co,Mg)(H3O)2[(UO2)SiO4]2·3H2O, Swamboite U7+H6(UO2)6(SiO4)6·30H2O, Uranophane-beta Ca[(UO2)SiO3(OH)]2·H2O</li></ul></li> <li>Datolite group <ul><li>Datolite series <ul><li><a href="/facts/Datolite/FDsCADlP">Datolite</a> CaBSiO4(OH), Hingganite-(Ce) (Ce,Ca)2([ ],Fe)Be2Si2O8[(OH),O]2, Hingganite-(Y) Y2([ ])Be2Si2O8(OH)2, Hingganite-(Yb) (Yb,Y)2([ ])Be2Si2O8(OH)2, Calcybeborosilite-(Y) (REE,Ca)2[ ](B,Be)2(SiO4)2(OH,O)2</li></ul></li> <li>Homilite series <ul><li><a href="/facts/Bakerite/uUdyRMsz">Bakerite</a> Ca4B4(BO4)(SiO4)3(OH)3·H2O, <a href="/facts/Gadolinite/kahQI57c">Gadolinite</a>-(Ce) (Ce,La,Nd,Y)2Fe2+Be2Si2O10, Gadolinite-(Y) Y2Fe2+Be2Si2O10, Calciogadolinite?
