{{short description|List of minerals with Wikipedia articles}} This is a '''list of minerals''' which have Wikipedia articles. [[Mineral]]s are distinguished by various chemical and physical properties. Differences in chemical composition and crystal structure distinguish the various ''species''. Within a mineral species there may be variation in physical properties or minor amounts of impurities that are recognized by mineralogists or wider society as a mineral ''variety''. Mineral variety names are listed after the valid minerals for each letter. For a more complete listing of all mineral names, see [[List of minerals recognized by the International Mineralogical Association]]. {{compact ToC|top=yes|seealso=yes|extlinks=yes}} ==A== [[File:(61-365) Can you imagine?
