Abstract
Different approaches to the individualization of mineral species formulated by G. B. Bokii and his opponents are considered. It is shown that with the development of techniques of X-ray experiments the "dominance principle" used in structural chemistry became the main tool in discovering new minerals. On the example of the eudialyte group, the individualization of mineral species distinguished by chemical and structural features, physical properties, and formation conditions is demonstrated.
