I am writing a mineral guide for smartphones which classifies minerals according to their formation environment.

From sugestions on this related question, I changed the classification to:

• Sedimentary
• Magmatic Tardimagmatic
• Metamorphic
• Hydrothermal
• Supergenic?? Exogenous

The question mark is because comments on other related question sugest supergenic would not be a good term to include weathering resulting minerals from igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic bodies on surface.

Would it be appropiated to classify weathering minerals as Superficial alteration. The first time I wrote the DB I refered it as Exogenous, but it looks no correct acording to answers on first linked question.

Just Weathering maybe? That would be acceptable on the US?

Edit

From @Fred answer and @Gimelist previous answer, I will finally classify them as:

• Sedimentary
• Magmatic
• Metamorphic
• Hydrothermal
• Supergenic
• Weathered

Thanks. I hoppe this is the best for my future users/students. Let me know if you have a better alternative.

I will post a link to this on a page "about the classification" so I migth atract some students to the site.
