本世纪我国新矿物的发现与研究进展(2000~2019年)

从1958年我国发现第一个新矿物"香花石"开始至今,逾60年的时间里在中国发现和报道的新矿物达175种,其中142种为获得国际矿物协会新矿物委员会(IMA CNMNC)正式批准的有效独立矿物种。本世纪近二十年来我国新矿物研究进展尤为突出,已发现新矿物数量达60种,位列世界第六。特别是关于自然元素矿物大类新矿物的发现位于世界前列,关于稀土新矿物和冲击变质超高压新矿物的发现和研究也取得了令世界瞩目的进展。本文着重从上世纪中国新矿物种的修订、本世纪在中国发现的新矿物种的数量和晶体化学类型以及产出特征等方面对本世纪我国新矿物研究进展进行综述,以期为推进我国新矿物工作提供参考、借鉴和启迪。

Research Progresses of New Minerals Discovered in China from 2000 to 2019

Since the discovery of the first new mineral Hsianghualite in China in 1958,175 new minerals have been discovered and reported in China,and 142 out of them have been officially approved by IMA CNMNC as valid independent mineral species.In the past 20 years of this century,the outstanding research progresses of new minerals in China have particularly been made,as the number of new minerals discovered in China has reached to a high record of 60,with the ranking score of sixth among countries in the world.Especially,the number of discovered new species of natural element minerals ranks among the top in the world and the discovery and research of new species of rare earth minerals and shock-metamorphosed ultrahigh-pressure minerals have made significant progress in the world.This paper is focused on reviewing the revision of new mineral species discovered in China in the last century and summarizing the achievements and progresses of studies on new mineral species discovered in China in this century in terms of the quantity,crystallochemical type,and occurrence characteristics,in order to provide reference and inspiration for promoting the discovery and research of new mineral species in China in future.
