Abstract:The Chinese and English names, chemical formulae and other dtat of forty two new minerals wich were approved by IMA CNMMN from January 1993 to Decembr 1993 and published by mineralogical journals of various countries are listed in this paper. These data of new minerals include their crystallographic systems, space groups, unit cell parameters, main powder diffraction dtat (I,hkl), physical properites (crystal form, color, streak, luster, cleavage, luminescence, hardness, density etc.), optical properites (uniaxial or bioxial crystal, positive or negative character, refractive index, reflectance, bireflectance, 2V, dispersion, absorbability,polychroism etc.), modes of occurrence, paragenetic minerals and references.
