Arsenite mineral

Arsenite minerals are very rare oxygen-bearing arsenic minerals. Classical world localities where such minerals occur include the complex skarn manganese deposit at LÃ¥ngban (Sweden) and the polymetallic Tsumeb deposit (Namibia). The most often reported arsenite anion in minerals is the AsO₃^{3−} anion, present for example in reinerite Zn₃(AsO₃)₂. Unique diarsenite anions occur i. e. in leiteite Zn[As₂O₄] and paulmooreite Pb[As₂O₅]. More complex arsenites include schneiderhöhnite Fe²⁺Fe³⁺₃[As₅O₁₃] and ludlockite PbFe³⁺₄As₁₀O₂₂.

Nickel–Strunz classification -04- oxides

IMA-CNMNC proposes a new hierarchical scheme (Mills et al., 2009). This list uses it to modify the Classification of Nickel–Strunz (mindat.org, 10 ed, pending publication).

• Abbreviations:
• "*" - IMA/CNMNC status: discredited.
• "?" - IMA/CNMNC status: questionable/doubtful.
• "REE" - Rare-earth element (Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu)
• "PGE" - Platinum-group element (Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt)
• 03.C Aluminofluorides, 06 Borates, 08 Vanadates (04.H V^[5,6] Vanadates), 09 Silicates:
• Neso: insular (from Greek νησος nēsos, island)
• Soro: grouping (from Greek σωροῦ sōros, heap, mound (especially of corn))
• Cyclo: ring
• Ino: chain (from Greek ις [genitive: ινος inos], fibre)
• Phyllo: sheet (from Greek φύλλον phyllon, leaf)
• Tekto: three-dimensional framework
• Nickel–Strunz code scheme: NN.XY.##x
• NN: Nickel–Strunz mineral class number
• X: Nickel–Strunz mineral division letter
• Y: Nickel–Strunz mineral family letter
• <nowiki>##</nowiki>x: Nickel–Strunz mineral/group number, x add-on letter
