It is currently not possible to have a complete list of minerals . The International Mineralogical Association is the international group that recognises new minerals and new mineral names, however minerals discovered before 1959 did not go through the official naming procedure, although some minerals published previously have been either confirmed or discredited since that date. This list contains a mixture of mineral names that have been approved since 1959 and those mineral names believed to still refer to valid mineral species these are called grandfathered species . The list is divided into groups list of minerals complete Intro List of minerals synonyms Main synonyms List of minerals A complete A List of minerals B complete B List of minerals C complete C List of minerals D E complete D E List of minerals F G complete F G List of minerals H J complete H J List of minerals K L complete K L List of minerals M O complete M O P R List of minerals S complete S List of minerals T complete T List of minerals U Z complete U Z The data was exported from mindat.org on April 29, 2005, revised 2011.

This list gives an overview of the classification of minerals silicates and includes mostly International Mineralogical Association IMA recognized minerals and its groupings. This list complements the alphabetical list on List of minerals complete and List of minerals . Rocks, ores, mineral mixtures, non IMA approved minerals and non named minerals are mostly excluded. Mostly major groups only, or groupings used by New Dana Classification and Mindat.org Mindat . Classification of minerals Introduction The grouping of the New Dana Classification and of the mindat.org is similar only, and so this classification is an overview only. Consistency is missing too on the group name endings group, subgroup, series between New Dana Classification and mindat.org. Category, class and supergroup name endings are used as layout tools in the list as well. Abbreviations Mineral not IMA Approved. ? IMA Discredited Mineral Name.
