Summary
This volume contains articles on new mineral species, among them – Faizievite, Guimarã esite, a rocherite-group
mineral from Brazil, and Ferroskuterudite, arsenide of iron and cobalt from the Norilsk ore field; the description of
new finds of recently discovered minerals – Pertsevite and Megacyclite with the structure of the last one; new data
on mineralogical assemblages with bituminous matter in pegmatites of the Khibiny massif, on the features of occurrence
of noble metals in ores and oxidized zone of the Onega deposits in South Karelia; the results of studying of
Grossular, Vesuvianite and Achtrandite of the Talnakh region; the results of research of transformation of mineral
paragenetic assemblages from copper sulfide ores of the Krasnov hydrotermal field; the nomenclature of the
Loellingitegroup diarsenides.
The paper of the chairman and vicechairman, Subcommittee for Unnamed Minerals, IMA Commission on New
Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification, published earlier in Canadian Mineralogist journal, is reproduced here
in brief version by request of the Commission in order to introduce the new and approved coding system as widely
as possible.
"Mineral Museums and Collections" section contains information on mineral collections of Fersman Mineralogical
Museum: on art things of masters from the Urals on mineral collections of the Tsesarevichs and of General G.P.
Chernik; on the story of one exhibit from the Museum – a black basalt with a golden monogram; and also there is
in this section a description of the mineralogical collection of the GeoMuseum, Cologne University, Germany.
"Personalities" section includes the article on the exhibition "Jubilees and Their Heroes"; this exhibition was devoted
to 290 years of Fersman Mineralogical Museum and other jubilees concerning with the Museum. Two more articles
are devoted to Professors Alexander A. Godovikov and Georgiy P. Barsanov who had leaded this Museum in
different periods.
In "Mineralogical Notes" section two articles are published. First, on carbonates in metakimberlite, Zarnitsa pipe,
and second, on the twisted filiform magnesian calcite from rocks at Russian platform.
The volume is interesting for mineralogists, geochemists, geologists, curators of Natural History museums, and collectors.
