IMA Classification of Pseudobrookite GroupHide

IMA status notes:
IMA Approved Group Name
Approval history:
The Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA-CNMNC) has approved a proposal (IMA 25-A) to validate ferropseudobrookite as a mineral species, to revise the definition of armalcolite following IMA recommendations, and to establish the pseudobrookite group.
