Detailed Mineral List:
β Anatase Formula: TiO2 |
β 'Apatite' Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(Cl/F/OH) |
β Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS Localities: Habit: mostly massive (powdery) with some cubes Colour: dull grey Description: Heated in a closed tube this gives copious sulphur fumes, sufficient to condense and form liquid drops. The arsenic given off is consequently black (tested Oct 2004) |
β Brochantite Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 Localities: References: |
β Brookite Formula: TiO2 |
β Cassiterite Formula: SnO2 |
β Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 |
β Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 Localities: References: |
β Childrenite ? Formula: Fe2+Al(PO4)(OH)2 · H2O Description: Specimens in the collection of the British Museum that are labelled as coming from Virtuous Lady Mine have been shown to be really from George and Charlotte Mine. Tiny childrenite crystals were identified however on a "Lady's Slipper" pseudomorph that probably came from Virtuous Lady Mine. While the occurrence of childrenite at this locality is likely, it still has to be confirmed (Braithwaite and Cooper, 1982). |
β 'Chlorite Group' |
β Covellite Formula: CuS |
β Cyanotrichite ? Formula: Cu4Al2(SO4)(OH)12 · 2H2O |
β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 Habit: Crusts of epitaxial-stacked and twinned equidimensional rhombohedra. Occasional modification by negative rhombohedron. Colour: White - usually with yellow, iridescent coating Description: The mineral is found lining voids in vuggy dump material.
Crystals to ~2mm, epitaxial stacks of rhombohedra, some twinning allowing the crystal masses to conform with the matrix surface.
Associated with:
Lollingite, Arsenopyrite, Pyrite, Quartz, Siderite.
Matrix:
Quartz in brecciated killas (slate).

β Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F |
β Fluorapatite var. Carbonate-rich Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4,CO3)3(F,O) |
β Fluorite Formula: CaF2 |
β Galena Formula: PbS Localities: |
β Goethite Formula: Ξ±-Fe3+O(OH) |
β Gypsum Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O Habit: Acicular and bladed tabular crystals to ~8mm
Some stepped growth on acicular crystals. Colour: Colourless, transparent. Description: The mineral is found in a single void in vuggy dump material.
Crystals to ~8mm in divergent clusters on dolomite rhombohedra.
Stepped growth of acicular crystals typical of gypsum (var. Selenite)
Associated with:
Dolomite, LΓΆllingite, Arsenopyrite, Pyrite, Quartz, Siderite.
Matrix:
Quartz in brecciated killas (slate).
