The document titled "Newsletter 76" provides information on newly approved minerals by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature, and Classification. It includes details such as the mineral name, chemical formula, type locality, crystal system, and structure. The newsletter highlights minerals like Dmitryvarlamovite, Niobobaotite, Ootannite, Dinilawiite, Clogauite, and Zilbermintsite-(La), each with their own unique characteristics and deposited in various collections worldwide. Additionally, the newsletter mentions other newly discovered minerals like Yttrotungstite-(Nd), Macraeite, Epiebnerite, Alvesite, Gajardoite-(NH4), Glecklerite, Sarvodaite, Natromelansonite, Vanpeltite, Hydroxylbenyacarite, Karwowskiite, Amoraite, and provides information on changes in the formula of innelite and stannopalladinite.

The IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification has released two newsletters providing information on new mineral proposals approved in August and September 2023. The newsletters include details such as the mineral names, chemical formulas, type localities, crystal systems, and strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The authors of the new minerals are required to publish a full description of each mineral. The newsletters also mention nomenclature/classification proposals approved in August 2023 and corrections to a previous newsletter. [Extracted from the article]

- Polysomatic symbols have to be placed as a suffix, which indicates the number and types of modules which alternate in the structure as in the högbomite supergroup, or as prefixes as in the sartorite homologous series. The ideal formula of cooperite (PtS) remains as currently given in the IMA List of Minerals.
