I would suggest to use the IMA Mineral Symbols for all images created after the publication of Warr (2021). It makes the interpretation of such images much easier, even without the description being visible (like here on Mindat). In this case hessite would be marked with "Hes" and not "He", and chalcopyrite would be "Ccp" and not "Cp".

Lead. Lead (element #82, symbol Pb) is a very soft, blue-gray, metallic element. It is primarily produced from the mineral galena. It has been used since antiquity. Water pipes in ancient Rome, some of which still carry …

IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols Laurence N. Warr* Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, 17487 Greifswald, Germany Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established.

Agate is the official state mineral, as designated by Public Chapter 30 of the 106th General Assembly in 2009. Agate, a semiprecious gemstone, is a waxy, cryptocrystalline variety of mineral quartz in which the colors are present in bands, clouds, or distinct groups.

Manganese. Manganese (element #25, symbol Mn) is a gray-white metal with a pinkish tinge, and is very brittle, but hard. It was discovered 1774 by Johann Gahn. Manganese easily reacts with water and air. On Earth, manganese is never found as a free metal, but it is found in a number of minerals. The most important of these minerals is ...

Molybdenum. Molybdenum (element #42, symbol Mo) is a metallic, lead-gray element, with a high melting point (4,730 degrees Fahrenheit). This is 2,000 degrees higher than the melting point of steel, and 1,000 degrees higher than the melting temperature of most rocks. Molybdenum was discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1778, and was isolated and ...

Colorado's State Mineral is the deep red Rhodochrosite.

Iron, which is the chief constituent of Earth's core, is the most abundant element in Earth as a whole (about 35 percent) and is relatively plentiful in the Sun and other stars. In the crust the free metal is rare, occurring as terrestrial iron (alloyed with 2–3 percent nickel) in basaltic rocks in Greenland and carbonaceous sediments in ...

Abstract. There is at present a disturbing lack of uniformity in the choice of symbols for rock-forming minerals. For example, in Volume 65 (1980) of The American Mineralogist, all of BT, BIO, and Biot are used for biotite, and all of Q, QTZ, Qtz, Qz and qtz are used for quartz. At least 10 other minerals are referred to by two or more symbols ...

mineral, naturally occurring homogeneous solid with a definite chemical composition and a highly ordered atomic arrangement; it is usually formed by inorganic processes. There are several thousand known mineral species, about 100 of which constitute the major mineral components of rocks; these are the so-called rock-forming …
