| Name: | IMA2009-079 |
| IMA Chemistry: | KNa2(Mg4Fe3+)Si8O22F2 |
| Chemistry Elements: | The mineral IMA2009-079 contains elements: Potassium (K) Sodium (Na) Magnesium (Mg) Iron (Fe) Silicon (Si) Oxygen (O) Fluorine (F) |
| Country of Type Locality: | |
| Year First Published: | |
| IMA Status: | |
| Status Notes: | Approval has been withdrawn because the same mineral was approved as IMA1985-023. At the same time that the mineral was approved, voting on the proposed name was suspended because of an imminent report on the nomenclature of the amphibole group. Subsequently, Hogarth et al. (1987) published definitive data for the mineral without noting that it had been approved by IMA, describing it as "potassium fluor-magnesio-arfvedsonite". As a result of later enquiries, and in light of the currently accepted amphibole nomenclature, Hogarth (2006) published a note in which the mineral approval was reported and named it fluoro-potassic-magnesio-arfvedsonite. This is the correct name for the mineral, renamed with IMA approval. |
