There are several schemes of mineral classification in common use, usually derived from published guides to mineralogy. The International Mineralogical Association (IMA), which governs mineral nomenclature through its Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC), has also proposed the outlines of a unified scheme but, as of December 2009, the details have yet to be finalised: it seems likely that it will be a modified version of the Strunz classification.[1]
- Mineral class.
- Mineral subclass.
- Mineral family.
- Mineral supergroup.
- Mineral group.
- Mineral subgroup or mineral series.
- Mineral group.
- Mineral supergroup.
- Mineral family.
- Mineral subclass.
