Minerals arranged by the Nickel-Strunz (Ver10) Classification System.

Nickel-Strunz classification courtesy of James A. Ferraiolo. Jim's scholarship on mineral classification goes back to 1982 when he published A Systematic Classification of Nonsilicate Minerals that updated the Dana (7th Edition) numbers.
