Abstract:Based on a systematic collection of 108 new minerals approved by the Commission on New Minerals,Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) in 2017, this paper gives an account of main mineralogical characteristics of these new minerals, which include mineral names, crystallochemical formulae,crystal structure data,physical and optical properties, origin and occurrence localities, and relationships with other minerals. It is worth noticing that Chinese names of these new minerals have been examined and revised under the authority of Chinese Commission of New Minerals and Mineral Names. Presenting a report of the comprehensive introduction to discovery and study of new minerals in the world, this work will provide valuable reference for discovery and study of new minerals in China and promote the standardization of Chinese names of mineral species.
