I'm trying to get an overview ;)
Notability: named minerals only, I exclude the the "unnamed" ones. Notable is an IMA recognized mineral.
I try to follow webmineral.com and the Classification by Strunz. Dana and mindat.org cross categories (superclasses) and classes sometimes, but Strunz does not use the old group names.
Identification of minerals
[edit]Ca- Identification of minerals (non white streak, Mohs lower than 4½)
[edit]- Color: 0/ white (wht), translucent (tlc); 1/ grey, metallic (gry); 2/ yellow (yll); 3/ yellowish green (y-g); 4/ green (grn); 5/ bluish green (b-g); 6/ cyan (cyan); 7/ cyan-blue (c-b); 8/ blue (blue); 9/ violet (vlt); 10/ magenta (mgt); 11/ magenta-red (m-r); 12/ red (red); 13/ orange (org); 14/ brown, black grey (brw); 15/ black (blk); etc.
- Crystal notation: 0/ amorphous; 1/ triclinic (Tri, point group 1 or 1); 2/ monoclinic (Mono, point group 2, m or 2/m); 22/ orthorhombic (Ortho, point group 222, mm2 or mmm); 4/ tetragonal (Tetra, point group 4...); 63/ hexagonal/trigonal (Trig, point group 3...); 66/ hexagonal/hexagonal (Hex, point group 6...); 3/ cubic or isometric (Iso, point group 23, m3, 432, 43m or m3m).
