New Mineral Names

Abstract

In this issue of New Mineral Names, a thematic approach is used to help provide context for advances and discoveries in mineralogy. Changes in nomenclature and the definition of minerals have led to new mineral descriptions. Here we look into minerals, which might not have been classified as such 50 years ago, and their associated new classification schemes that open the door to new mineral descriptions: goldhillite, radvaniceite, zvěstovite-(Zn), oberwolfachite, cesiokenopyrochlore, orishchinite, kahlenbergite, zoisite-(Pb), and dendoraite-(NH4).
