SESSION P2. Mineralogical Crystallography and New Minerals
Conveners: Fernando Camara (UNIMI), Cristina Carbone (UNIGE)
Crystallographic research is an important part of mineralogy. At the same time, the ever-growing mineral diversity in the Earth and the Solar System is testified by the large number of new mineral species (some 5.500), many of them described from Italian localities. Mineralogical crystallography is definitely a consequence of the evolution of the mineral kingdom. Yet, the crystallographic studies coupled with the composition of minerals are not only used to decipher the Earth's history but also have many applications in material sciences and technology. The session is devoted to the discussion of topics related to the crystal structure, composition of minerals and related inorganic phases as well as the description of new mineral species.
Keynote speaker: William L. Griffin (Macquarie University)
Keynote title: "Exotic mineralogy in an ultra-reduced magmatic system beneath Mt Carmel, Israel"
