This list includes those recognised minerals beginning with the letters Y and Z.The International Mineralogical Association is the international group that recognises new minerals and new mineral names; however, minerals discovered before 1959 did not go through the official naming procedure, although some minerals published previously have been either confirmed or discredited since that date.
Shungite is either a diverse group of metamorphosed Precambrian rocks all of which contain pyrobitumen, or the pyrobitumen within those rocks. [1] It was first described from a deposit near Shunga village, in Karelia, Russia, from where it gets its name.
Andalusite, kyanite, and sillimanite are the principal aluminium silicate minerals. [2] [3] [4] The triple point of the three polymorphs is located at a temperature of 500 °C (932 °F) and a pressure of 0.4 GPa (58,000 psi).
Dunite (/ ˈ d uː n aɪ t, ˈ d ʌ n aɪ t /), also known as olivinite (not to be confused with the mineral olivenite), is an intrusive igneous rock of ultramafic composition and with phaneritic (coarse-grained) texture. The mineral assemblage is greater than 90% olivine, with minor amounts of other minerals such as pyroxene, chromite ...
