| Abstract: | The names of minerals are mostly irrational with respect to their chemical composition and crystal structure. The division of mineral species into structural and chemical-structural subspecies or varieties is proposed to simplify and rationalize mineral nomenclature. Special modifiers could be used and written after the root name of an initial mineral. For example, the eudialyte-group minerals could be divided into eudialyte-(CaMn), -(CaFe), -(MnCa), -(CaSr), and -(CaH) and alluaivite. The format of such modifiers should be a matter of discussion and approval. |
