Organic compounds (minerals)

Some organic compounds are valid minerals, recognized by the CNMNC (IMA).

Nickel–Strunz classification −10- Organic compounds

Abbreviations:
- "*" – discredited (IMA/CNMNC status).
- "?" – questionable/doubtful (IMA/CNMNC status).
Nickel–Strunz code scheme: NN.XY.##x
- NN: Nickel–Strunz mineral class number
- X: Nickel–Strunz mineral division letter
