Class of minerals containing oxygen
Oxide mineral exhibit at the Museum of Geology in
South Dakota
The oxide mineral class includes those
minerals in which the oxide
anion (O2− ) is bonded to one or more
metal alloys. The
hydroxide -bearing minerals are typically included in the
oxide class. Minerals with complex anion groups such as the
silicates ,
sulfates ,
carbonates and
phosphates are classed separately.
Simple oxides
XO form
Periclase group
Zincite group
Nickel–Strunz class 4: oxides
IMA -CNMNC proposes a new hierarchical scheme (Mills et al., 2009). This list uses it to modify the
Nickel–Strunz classification (
mindat.org , 10 ed, pending publication).
Abbreviations:
"*": discredited (IMA/CNMNC status)
"?": questionable/doubtful (IMA/CNMNC status)
"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 ,
romanized : nēsos ,
lit. 'island')
Soro: grouping (from Greek: σωροῦ , romanized: sōros ; heap, mound (especially of corn))
Cyclo: ring
Ino: chain (from Greek: ις [genitive: ινος , inos ], fibre)
Phyllo: sheet (from Greek: φύλλον , romanized: phyllon ,
lit. 'leaf')
Tekto: three-dimensional framework
Nickel–Strunz code scheme: NN.XY.##x
NN: Nickel–Strunz mineral class number
X: Nickel–Strunz mineral division letter
