IMA Classification of Rietveldite subgroup
IMA status notes:
IMA Approved Group Name
Approval history:
(L1)NOMENCLATURE/CLASSIFICATION PROPOSALS APPROVED IN JANUARY 2025 (L2)Establishment of the svornostite group and renaming of svornostite and oldsite (Anthony R. Kampf, Travis A. Olds, Jakub Plášil, Chi Ma, Aaron J. Celestian and Joe Marty) Concurrent with the approval of the new mineral svornostite-(NH4) (IMA No. 2024-068; this Newsletter) the svornostite group is established. In the frame of this, the minerals svornostite and oldsite have been renamed svornostite-(K) and oldsite-(K), respectively. The svornostite group is divided into the svornostite subgroup, which includes svornostite-(K), svornostite-(NH4) and oldsite-(K), and the rietveldite subgroup, which includes rietveldite and zincorietveldite.

Click on any node to view relationships. Formula-derived relationship network for the group members above. Use Find related species to add formula-neighbour species outside the current group view. Solid links show inferred chemical differences; dashed violet links show same-formula crystallographic differences. Hydration states are not treated as relationship changes. These relationships do not imply any real-world substitution reactions between these species.
