IMA2009-079 KNa2(Mg4Fe3+)Si8O22F2 KNa2(Mg4Fe3+)Si8O22F2 K Na Mg Fe Si O F IMA2009-079 Amphibole   Approval has been withdrawn because the same mineral was approved as IMA1985-023. At the same time that the mineral was approved voting on the proposed name was suspended because of an imminent report on the nomenclature of the amphibole group. Subsequently Hogarth et al. (1987) published definitive data for the mineral without noting that it had been approved by IMA describing it as potassium fluor-magnesio-arfvedsonite. As a result of later enquiries and in light of the currently accepted amphibole nomenclature Hogarth (2006) published a note in which the mineral approval was reported and named it fluoro-potassic-magnesio-arfvedsonite. This is the correct name for the mineral renamed with IMA approval.
