Index of occurence in Slovakia:

    1. EXCEPTIONAL      1 - 2 localities
   2. RARE                       3 - 6 localities
   3. INFREQUENT         7 - 15 localities
   4. ABUDANT               15 - 50 localities
   5. MORE ABUDANT  > 50 localities
Identification rating of mineral in Slovakia:

 1. WELL IDENTIFIED - mostly combination at least 2 most distinguished analytical methods (X -ray diffraction and electron microprobe)

2. PARTIALLY-INDENTIFIED - mineral mostly analyzed, but for well identification is need to make another analyses

3. UNDERIDENTIFIED - mineral mostly identified only visual, often very problematic or fictive
