Abstract
A new classification and nomenclature scheme for the amphibole-supergroup minerals is described, based on the general formula AB 2 C 5 T 8 O 22 W 2 , where A = □, Na, K, Ca, Pb, Li; B = Na, Ca, Mn 2+ , Fe 2+ , Mg, Li; C = Mg, Fe 2+ , Mn 2+ , Al, Fe 3+ , Mn 3+ , Ti 4+ , Li; T = Si, Al, Ti 4+ , Be; W = (OH), F, Cl, O 2− . Distinct arrangements of formal charges at the sites (or groups of sites) in the amphibole structure warrant distinct null root...
