[b]NOMENCLATURE/CLASSIFICATION PROPOSALS APPROVED IN JUNE 2019[/b]
IMA 16-F: Proposition of changes in CNMNC policy towards regarding as minerals
combustion products forming on burning coal-dumps
Proposal 16-F is accepted. Crystal phases forming on the burning coal-dumps with no human
agency initiating the fire and no anthropogenic material deposited there should be treated as
minerals.
IMA 19-C: Establishing a new class of type specimen – Anthropotype
Proposal 19-C is accepted. Synthetic analogues, used to justify the existence of a new mineral
species or to obtain the missing properties required for a new mineral characterisation, are
designated as anthropotypes. These anthropotypes should be registered and stored in museums, and
made available for study just like naturally occurring type specimens.
[b]POLISH-UP OF THE IMA LIST OF MINERALS[/b]
We are making effective a number of minor changes in the chemical formulae of minerals which, in
their current form, have been inherited from previous IMA-approved compilations. In most cases
the change merely consists in the elimination of subordinate constituents occurring within the same
parentheses together with the dominant constituent. Minerals marked as Q (questionable) in the
IMA List of Minerals were not considered, since these should deserve a more detailed re-appraisal.
Similarly, minerals belonging to a supergroup for which the IMA-CNMNC approved a
comprehensive report were left behind, too, as those formulae have been already discussed and
agreed by a dedicated subcommittee. This is an executive decision taken by the officers of the IMA-CNMNC.

[b]NOMENCLATURE/CLASSIFICATION PROPOSALS APPROVED IN JUNE 2019[/b]
IMA 16-F: Proposition of changes in CNMNC policy towards regarding as minerals
combustion products forming on burning coal-dumps
Proposal 16-F is accepted. Crystal phases forming on the burning coal-dumps with no human
agency initiating the fire and no anthropogenic material deposited there should be treated as
minerals.
IMA 19-C: Establishing a new class of type specimen – Anthropotype
Proposal 19-C is accepted. Synthetic analogues, used to justify the existence of a new mineral
species or to obtain the missing properties required for a new mineral characterisation, are
designated as anthropotypes. These anthropotypes should be registered and stored in museums, and
made available for study just like naturally occurring type specimens.
[b]POLISH-UP OF THE IMA LIST OF MINERALS[/b]
We are making effective a number of minor changes in the chemical formulae of minerals which, in
their current form, have been inherited from previous IMA-approved compilations. In most cases
the change merely consists in the elimination of subordinate constituents occurring within the same
parentheses together with the dominant constituent. Minerals marked as Q (questionable) in the
IMA List of Minerals were not considered, since these should deserve a more detailed re-appraisal.
Similarly, minerals belonging to a supergroup for which the IMA-CNMNC approved a
comprehensive report were left behind, too, as those formulae have been already discussed and
agreed by a dedicated subcommittee. This is an executive decision taken by the officers of the IMA-CNMNC.
