Classification of organic minerals

Short description: List of IMA recognized minerals and groupings

Some organic compounds are valid minerals, recognized by the CNMNC (IMA).

## Nickel–Strunz classification −10- Organic compounds

* Abbreviations:
* "*" – discredited (IMA/CNMNC status).
* "?" – questionable/doubtful (IMA/CNMNC status).
* Nickel–Strunz code scheme: NN.XY.##x
* NN: Nickel–Strunz mineral class number
* X: Nickel–Strunz mineral division letter
* Y: Nickel–Strunz mineral family letter
* ##x: Nickel–Strunz mineral/group number, x add-on letter
