G = Grandfathered minerals: original description preceded the establishment of the CNMNC in 1959, and generally regarded as a valid species
A or IMA No. = Minerals approved by the CNMNC
Rd = Redefinition of the mineral approved by the CNMNC
Rn = Renamed with approval by the CNMNC
Q = Questionable mineral

To distinguish from classical Strunz numbering, on hierarchical "group" level, a numbering with 3 digits is used, like "10.AA.005. Formicaite", instead of 2 digits (like "10.AA.05.") in the Strunz system.
