Abstract
About 300 new minerals (Kudryashova and Smol’yaninova, 2002–2007) were described after the previously published mineral statistics (Yaroshevsky, 2003), the database having increased by more than 7%. Calculation results based on new information show that the geochemical tendencies established in 2003 are quite valid and, like the symmetry statistics of minerals (Shafranovsky, 1983; Urusov, 2006), may be regarded as important and persistent mineralogical characteristics.
