Abstract
In this issueThis issue of New Mineral Names provides a summary of new species that contain arsenic and lead. As of November 2022, there are 1219 minerals that contain constituent arsenic or lead, which is roughly 20% of all known mineral species. These two elements are an important component in many of the newly described minerals that typically form from hydrothermal or other diagenetic processes. Here we look at nitroplumbite, thorasphite, tennantite-(Cd), paradimorphite, tombstoneite, aldomarinoite, lomardoite, dobšináite, panskyite, yugensonite, and kufahrite.
