Mineral-Borate
Nickel-Strunz class 06
Minerals which contain a borate anion group.
Mineral-Carbonate or Nitrate
Nickel-Strunz class 05
Carbonate minerals are those minerals containing the carbonate ion
Mineral-Halide
Nickel-Strunz class 03

Earth and Environmental Science extension - Mineral group vocabulary
Vocabulary to extend the mineral material type category with the top level mineral group categories. Uses the Nickel–Strunz mineral classes, which divide minerals into ten classes according to chemical composition and crystal structure. Nickel-Strunz group 10 is not included because that material would be mat:organiccompounds. Version 10 of the classification is modified from v 9 (Strunz and Nickel,2002) by Jim Ferraiolo and others, and now extended and maintained by mindat.org. Some scope notes from linked.data.gov.au.

Mineral-Native Element
Nickel-Strunz class 01
Elements that occur in nature in uncombined form with a distinct mineral structure. Includes metals and intermetallic alloys; metalloids and nonmetals; carbides, silicides, nitrides, phosphides
Mineral-Organic Compound
Nickel-Strunz class 10
Organic mineral
Salts of organic acids, hydrocarbons, and miscellaneous organic minerals formed as a result of geological processes. Includes hydrocarbons, formates, acetates, oxalates, benzine salts, cyanates. Chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen (https://www.britannica.com/science/organic-compound).
Mineral-Oxide
Nickel-Strunz class 04
Includes class oxides, hydroxides, and arsenties. Oxides are minerals in which the oxide anion is bonded to one or more metal alloys. The hydroxide-bearing minerals are typically included in the oxide class. Arsenite minerals are very rare oxygen-bearing arsenic minerals.
Mineral-Phosphate, Arsenate, or Vanadate
Nickel-Strunz class 08
Phosphate minerals contain the phosphate anion along sometimes with arsenate and vanadate substitutions, and chloride, fluoride, and hydroxide anions that also fit into the crystal structure. Arsenate minerals usually refer to the naturally occurring orthoarsenates.
Mineral-Silicate or Germanate
Nickel-Strunz class 09
Rock-forming minerals made up of silicate groups
Mineral-Sulfate, Selenate, or Tellurate
Nickel-Strunz class 07
class of minerals that include the sulfate ion within their structure.
Mineral-Sulfide or Sulfosalt
Nickel-Strunz class 02
Sulfide minerals are a class of minerals containing sulfide or disulfide as the major anion. Sulfosalt minerals are those complex sulfide minerals with the general formula: AmBnSp; where A represents a metal such as copper, lead, silver, iron, and rarely mercury, zinc, vanadium; B usually represents semi-metal such as arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and rarely germanium, or metals like tin and rarely vanadium; and S is sulfur or rarely selenium or/and tellurium (m, n, and p are integer formula subscripts). Includes sulfides, selenides, tellurides; arsenides, antimonides, bismuthides; sulfarsenites, sulfantimonites, sulfbismuthites
Material consists of a single mineral or mineraloid phase. . 'A mineral is an element or chemical compound that is normally crystalline and that has been formed as a result of geological processes.' (Nickel, Ernest H. (1995), The definition of a mineral, The Canadian Mineralogist. 33 (3): 689–90). Include mineraloids. ... A material primarily composed of some substance that is naturally occurring, solid and stable at room temperature, representable by a chemical formula, usually abiogenic, and that has an ordered atomic structure. (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01000256). Comment: the identity of a mineral species is defined by a crystal structure and a chemical composition that might include various specific elemental substitutions in that structure. Mineraloid: A naturally occurring mineral-like substance that does not demonstrate crystallinity. Mineraloids possess chemical compositions that vary beyond the generally accepted ranges for specific minerals. Examples: obsidian, Opal. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineraloid)
