This is a list of minerals which have Wikipedia articles. Minerals are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various species .
As of November 2024, the IMA - CNMNC List of Minerals lists 6,100 valid minerals, including 1,153 pre-IMA minerals (grandfathered), and 97 questionable minerals. [2] Also as of November 2024 [update] , the Mineralogical Society of America's Handbook of Mineralogy lists 5,663 species, [ 3 ] and the IMA Database of Mineral Properties/RRUFF ...
This list includes those recognised minerals beginning with the letter M.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.

Most minerals on Earth formed after photosynthesis by cyanobacteria (pictured) began adding oxygen to the atmosphere. Mineral evolution is a recent hypothesis that provides historical context to mineralogy. It postulates that mineralogy on planets and moons becomes increasingly complex as a result of changes in the physical, chemical and ...
Rruff.info/IMA database is built up based on 'IMA/CNMNC List of Mineral Names' compiled by Ernest H. Nickel & Monte C. Nichols (March 2007), courtesy of Minerals Data, Inc. This list is the result of the GQN list and the ARD list. Buserite's status is 'approved' (IMA1970-024): Burns, R G; Burns, V E; Stockman, H W (1983). "A review of the ...
Structure of the Mn 4 O 5 Ca core of the oxygen-evolving site in plants, illustrating one of many roles of the trace mineral manganese. [38] The list of minerals required for plants is similar to that for animals. Both use very similar enzymes, although differences exist. For example, legumes host molybdenum-containing nitrogenase, but animals ...
