角闪石超族矿物的命名：挑战与机遇——以新矿物“钾绿钙闪石”的发现为例

Challenges and opportunities for the Nomenclature of the Amphibole Supergroup——Taking the discovery of new mineral potassic-hastingsite as an example

IMA CNMNC认可和批准的角闪石矿物种成员数目已愈百个之多,而且还有上百个已命名的潜在矿物种尚待人们去发现和研究。这不但是挑战,更是发现新矿物的机遇。以新矿物“钾绿钙闪石”的发现与研究为例,解析“角闪石超族命名”的规则及其流程,提出了一种未测结构水情况下,有条件理论计算OH a pfu、结构水含量和矿物经验化学式的方法,供矿物学研究者参考。

The number of amphibole species approved by IMA CNMNC is over 100.And there are still hundreds more named potential new mineral species waiting for further discovery and research.This is not only a challenge,but also an opportune to discover new mineral species.The paper deconstructed the Nomenclature rule and procedure of the Amphibole Supergroup by studying the case of the discovery of new mineral potassic-hastingsite.The conditional theoretical calculations of OH apfu,structural water content and the empirical formula of amphiboles in the cause of unmeasured H2O^+ were presented.
