List of minerals recognized by the International Mineralogical Association
Mineralogy is an active science in which minerals are discovered or recognised on a regular basis. Use of old mineral names is also discontinued, for example when a name is no longer considered valid. Therefore, a list of recognised mineral species is never complete. As of April 2011, the IMA/CNMNC administrates c. 6,500 names. Also as of April 2011, the Webmineral.com website lists 2,722 published and approved (IMA/CNMNC) minerals, 81 discredited minerals (IMA/CNMNC status; Michael Fleischer discredited around one thousand species in his lifetime), 2,691 synonyms and 123 "not approved" names.
