Indeed, this species has been shown to be equivalent to keystoneite, Mg0.5NiFe3+(Te4+O3)3⋅4.5H2O. IMA 19-H: discreditation of heliophyllite Proposal 19-H is accepted, and heliophyllite is discredited. This species is identical to ecdemite, Pb6As2O7Cl4. REVISED CHEMICAL FORMULA A paper on the mineral ilmajokite has been recently published [IUCrJ, 7 (2020), 121–128] in which the ideal chemical formula of the mineral is given as Na11KBaCe2Ti12Si37.5O94(OH)31⋅29H2O. With respect to the previously accepted formula, there is a new chemical element (K); moreover Ba and Ce, which were previously put together with Na as subordinate cations, now acquire the status of species-forming constituents, as the structural study clearly indicates that they are partitioned at specific crystallographic sites. These data were examined carefully by the CNMNC officers and were considered reliable. Accordingly it was agreed to modify the formula of the mineral in the official IMA List of Minerals. Moreover, the occurrence of a REE as a species-forming element implies the renaming of ilmajokite to ilmajokite-(Ce). ERRATUM The file on the new mineral petrovite in CNMNC Newsletter 52 was wrong in the following details: IMA No.; chemical formula; full authorship of proposal; unit-cell parameters; strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern; citation details for the mineral prior to publication of full description.
