This list gives an overview of the classification of non-silicate minerals and includes mostly International Mineralogical Association (IMA) recognized minerals and its groupings. This list complements the List of minerals recognized by the International Mineralogical Association series of articles and List of minerals. Rocks, ores, mineral ...
The classification of minerals is a process of determining to which of several groups minerals belong based on their chemical characteristics. Since the 1950s, this classification has been carried out by the International Mineralogical Association, which classifies minerals into the following broad classes: Classification of non-silicate minerals
Classification of non-silicate minerals – List of IMA recognized minerals and groupings; Classification of silicate minerals – List of IMA recognized minerals and groupings; Classification of organic minerals – List of IMA recognized minerals and groupings; Industrial mineral – Geological materials mined for commercial value in industry
Most non-silicate mineral species are rare (constituting in total 8% of the Earth's crust), although some are relatively common, such as calcite, pyrite, magnetite, and hematite. There are two major structural styles observed in non-silicates: close-packing and silicate-like linked tetrahedra.
Classification of minerals — includes:; Class 01 - Elements: Metals and Alloys, Carbides, Silicides, Nitrides, Phosphides; Class 02 - Sulfides, Sulfosalts ...

Lipscombite (Fe 2+,Mn 2+)(Fe 3+) 2 (PO 4) 2 (OH) 2 [2] [3] is a green gray, olive green, or black. phosphate-based mineral containing iron, manganese, and iron phosphate. Lipscombite is often formed at meteorite impact sites where its crystals are microscopically small, because crystal-forming conditions of pressure and temperature are brief.
Native element minerals are those elements that occur in nature in uncombined form with a distinct mineral structure. The elemental class includes metals, intermetallic compounds, alloys, metalloids, and nonmetals. The Nickel–Strunz classification system also includes the naturally occurring phosphides, silicides, nitrides, carbides, and ...
