This text presents a structural classification of minerals, based on their internal structure. It is based on the strength distribution and directional character of the bonds, and is a sort of extension of the structural classification of silicates to the complete domain of minerals. An overview of 230 mineral structure types comprizing the more common minerals is presented in chart form. On the charts, the crystal structures are presented in a number of ways such as in projection, close packing, co-ordinated polyhedra and layer description. The text aims to be of particular interest to teachers and research workers in crystallography, mineralogy and inorganic crystal chemistry in academia.
