Formula: CaCO3
Habit: "Flos Ferri" habit and grainy crusts. Some of the flos ferri crystals exhibit a bladed habit.
Colour: white (may be stained other hues)
Fluorescence: blue
Description: Most of the white crusts visible to the naked eye found on materials from this locality are the flos ferri variety of aragonite; specimens are only rarely of high enough quality to consider collecting them - most specimens are grainy crusts in which the crystals have been damaged severly.
Arfvedsonite ?
Formula: [Na][Na2][Fe2+4Fe3+]Si8O22(OH)2
Arsenopyrite
Formula: FeAsS
Habit: Crude thin-tabular to thin-wedge-shaped, with lightly striated faces.
Colour: Very pale brassy - almost silver rather than brass yellow.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Uncommon at this locality, it may be told apart from pyrite and chalcopyrite here primarily by its much paler brassy color. The crystals my be lightly tarnished, but do not achieve the deep irridescent tarnish seen on the pyrite and chalcopyrite here. They were identified by the crystal habit and color.

Fluorescence: none
Description: Analyses by SEM and XRD at the U.S. Geological Survey Lab, Denver, USA (Gene Foord), and the University of New Orleans Lab, New Orleans, USA (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster).
Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
References:
Cassiterite
Formula: SnO2
Cerussite
Formula: PbCO3
Habit: Multiple habits - thin to medium thick tabular micro-crystals with chisel shaped terminations and edge faces - not rectangular or square; some approach being acicular. Twinning observed includes somewhat heart-shaped "fishtail" twins, more typical "fisht
Colour: Turbid transluscent - not glass-clear - to creamy white, sometimes the white crystals may have a tannish tinge.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by visual obnservations and wet chemical analysis (acid test). May be confused with anglesite crystals here; but anglesites tend to be glass-clear - not turbid to creamy white - and are usually (but not always) more blocky.
Chabazite-Ca
Formula: (Ca,K2,Na2)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O
Habit: pseudocubic
Colour: colorless
Chalcocite
Formula: Cu2S

Localities: Reported from at least 10 localities in this region.
Chamosite
Formula: (Fe2+)5Al(Si,Al)4O10(OH,O)8
Habit: Micro-crystal spheres of tiny folia, which may be lightly scattered and easily distiguishable to densely packed forming crusts.
Colour: Medium to pale olive-green, trending into turbid grey.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Analyses by SEM-EDS at Excalibur Minerals (Tony Nickershir) and at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster). Most of the chamosite found here is as a rock-forming constituent of the country rock surrounding the fault vein deposit, where it is seen as typical flaky masses and veinlets; but it is also found as micro-crystals in vugs and on fracture seams in the ore rocks.
'Chevkinite Group'
'Chlorite Group'
Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region.
Chrysotile
Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4
Clinochlore
Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8
Clinochlore var. Ripidolite
Formula: (Mg,Fe,Al)6(Si,Al)4O10(OH)8
Copper ?
Formula: Cu
Habit: Wire micro-crystals
Colour: Copper
Fluorescence: none
Description: Only two or three possible samples found by Bob Wilken of New Milford, Conn., USA, and Alan Plante of Gorham, NH, USA. Neither collector is certain that these specimens are native copper - they may be something else with a tarnished copper look to them. There is insufficient material for wet analysis; a sample would need to be at least probed to determine what they are.
Corundum ?
Formula: Al2O3
Cuprite
Formula: Cu2O
Habit: Octahedral micro-crystals, often as penetration twins.
Colour: Bright red.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Very tiny (less than 0.1 to about 0.1 mm) red octahedral micro-crystals, found scattered lightly on crumbly limonitic matrix, usually not too far away from weathered chalcopyrite.
Diopside
Formula: CaMgSi2O6
Epidote
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Fayalite
Formula: Fe2+2SiO4

'Feldspar Group'
Localities: Reported from at least 12 localities in this region.
Fluorapatite
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F
Fluorite
Formula: CaF2
Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region.
'Fluor-uvite-Uvite Series'
Galena
Formula: PbS
Localities: Reported from at least 9 localities in this region.
Habit: Massive, in pods to 14" across, veins to 10" wide, and stringers/veinlets to 1" wide. Also as matrix-frozen cubic crystals; and as cubic, modified cubo-octahedral, and octahedral micro-crystals.
Colour: Silvery-grey, may be either shinning metallic or dull metallic.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Galena was the principle ore mined at this site. The miners did a good job of recovering it for shipping to the smelter. Few specimens of any size - massive or as matrix-frozen crystals - remain to be found in the dumps. Crystals frozen in matrix are impossible to trim out into good mineral specimens. Therefore specimen-quality materials are largely restricted to secondary micro-crystals in vugs. A number of worthwhile finds have been made of these - showing some interesting modifications of the basic cubic shape.
Goethite
Formula: α-Fe3+O(OH)
References:
Gold
Formula: Au
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
Habit: Possibly as wire micro-crystals in finely entwined strands.
Colour: Gold.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Reported as being found sparsely disseminated in massive pyrite and chalcopyrite (Cox, 1970). Also reported more recently (1999) as possible wire micro-crystals, but with the suspicion that the specimen may actually be native copper with an odd golden tarnish.
Gypsum
Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O
Habit: Crusts and micro-crystals found growing on wood in the mine dump.
Colour: Milky white to clear.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Definitely a post-mine dump occurence.
Hastingsite
Formula: NaCa2(Fe2+4Fe3+)(Si6Al2)O22(OH)2
Hedenbergite
Formula: CaFe2+Si2O6
Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
Hemimorphite
Formula: Zn4Si2O7(OH)2 · H2O
Habit: Micro-crystals in mats, jackstraw clusters, and radiating sprays of acicular to thin prismatic crystals; more rarely as single thin to stout micro-crystals with a nearly square cross-section.
Colour: Milky white to clear.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Easily mistaken for cerussite or aragonite here (samples are probably overlooked) but has a different habit and morphology that can be seen upon careful examination. The stouter prismatic crystals with a nearly square cross-section are decidely different from the other species' habits. An acid test using 20% HCl showed that both the aragonite and cerussite dissolved, while the hemimorphite did not.
'Hornblende Root Name Group'
Formula: ◻Ca2(Z2+4Z3+)(AlSi7O22)(OH,F,Cl)2
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
Hydrozincite ?
Formula: Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6

Formula: CaAl2Si4O12 · 4H2O
'Limonite'
Linarite
Formula: PbCu(SO4)(OH)2
Habit: Thin tabular, more rarely prismatic with chisel-shaped terminations.
Colour: Deep blue.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Analyses by SEM and XRD at the U.S. Geological Survey Lab, Denver, USA (Gene Foord), and the University of New Orleans Lab, New Orleans, USA (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster). Most common of the blue minerals found at the site.
Magnetite
Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4
Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region.
Malachite
Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2
Habit: As spherical clusters and crusts.
Colour: Green.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by wet chemical analysis and visual observations. Most common of the green minerals found at the site.
'Manganese Oxides'
Meionite
Formula: Ca4Al6Si6O24CO3
Metazeunerite
Formula: Cu(UO2)2(AsO4)2 · 8H2O
Habit: Thin tabular plates, some crudely pseudo-hexagonal.
Colour: Yellowish-green, vitreous luster.
Description: Analysis by SEM-EDS at Excalibur Minerals (Tony Nickershir). Only a single specimen known as of Oct. '04 - found by Bob Wilkens, who had it probed at Excalibur. It is presumed that the U was derived from the granitic dike the fault occurs in. This is also the only arsenate species yet to be found at the site.
Microcline
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
Localities: Reported from at least 17 localities in this region.
Microcline var. Amazonite
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
Molybdenite
Formula: MoS2

Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
Localities: Reported from at least 19 localities in this region.
Muscovite var. Sericite
Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
References:
Orthoclase
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
Phenakite
Formula: Be2SiO4
'Plagioclase'
Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8
Posnjakite
Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 · H2O
Habit: Crude thick-tabular crystals with rounded edges - rarely sharp - sparse on matrix, and as crusts.
Colour: Medium greenish-blue.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM and XRD at the Denver USGS lab (Gene Foord) and at the UNO lab (Jim Nizamoff & Al Flaster.) Crystals of posnjakite are fairly distinct at this site - not easily confused with other species.
Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Localities: Reported from at least 13 localities in this region.
Pyrolusite ?
Formula: Mn4+O2
Pyrrhotite
Formula: Fe1-xS
Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 49 localities in this region.
Quartz var. Amethyst
Formula: SiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 16 localities in this region.
Quartz var. Citrine
Formula: SiO2
Quartz var. Milky Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Quartz var. Rose Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Quartz var. Smoky Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 9 localities in this region.
Ramsbeckite
Formula: (Cu,Zn)15(SO4)4(OH)22 · 6H2O
Habit: Thick tabular to "boxy" rhombic micro-crystals; may form crusts or be lightly scattered on matrix.
Colour: "Brochantite-green." (Easy to confuse with brochantite at this locality.)
Fluorescence: none
Description: Can be confused with brochantite crystals at this site but brochantite crystals are more thin-tabular to grainy - not rhombic and thick-tabular to boxy.
Riebeckite
Formula: ◻[Na2][Fe2+3Fe3+2]Si8O22(OH)2
Rosasite ?
Formula: (Cu,Zn)2(CO3)(OH)2
Habit: Micro-crusts, sometimes sub-botryoidal to botryoidal, more rarely as crudely tabular micro-crystals.
Colour: Bright, vivid, sky-blue with a waxy luster.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Mascot Mine "Unknown #7" - Once thought to be habits of the posnjakite found here, but SEM-EDS shows both Cu and Zn in significant quantities, suggesting the likelihood of it being rosasite - or possibly even claraite. It will take XRD analysis to determine the species.
Rutile
Formula: TiO2
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
References:
Schorl
Formula: NaFe2+3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH)
Schulenbergite
Formula: (Cu,Zn)7(SO4)2(OH)10 · 3H2O
Habit: Crusts, foliated sheets, crude hemispheres, and crude rosettes of extremely tiny acicular needles
Colour: Very pale sky-blue to slightly greenish-blue, with a pearly to somewhat waxy luster.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Indentified by SEM and XRD at the Denever USGS lab (Gene Foord), the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster), and Excaliber Minerals (Tony Nickershir). Schulenbergite can be confused with aurichalcite here; but the acicular natue of aurichalcite crusts and mats of needles is obvious - while the schulenbergite specimens appear either platy or grainy at magnifications of under approx. 120X (or greater?) The acicular nature of the schulenbergite was only revealed by SEM imaging.
'Serpentine Subgroup'
Formula: D3[Si2O5](OH)4
Serpierite
Formula: Ca(Cu,Zn)4(SO4)2(OH)6 · 3H2O
Habit: Lath-like micro-crystals with jagged terminations, in clusters exhibiting both parallel growth and jackstraws.
Colour: Bright medium blue.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster) and visual observations. Serpierite is rare at this site, but a number of samples have been found. The lath-like shape and jagged terminations distinguish them from other blue species here, particularly from linarite (which also is darker blue in color.)
Siderite
Formula: FeCO3
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
Habit: Typical clusters and vug linings of rhombic crystals, from micros to individuals to about 1.5 to 2 cm.
Colour: Dark brown to light tan, sometimes almost honey colored, often stained blue-black by Mn-O and having an sub-iridescent appearence.
Fluorescence: none.
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Flaster), and by repeated visual and wet analysis. The SEM analyses showed that even the lightest colored specimens are Mn-rich: siderite var. manganoan. This species is probably the single "collectable" mineral found at the site as non-micro crystals (along with an occasional quartz crystal specimen...)
Silver
Formula: Ag
Habit: As micro-grains in galena; and as wire micro-crystals, straight, curved, coiled, and in arborescent (bush-like) clusters.
Colour: Dull silvery-grey to dark grey, often coated with a dark-brown to black crust encasing the wires.
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster), and by wet analysis and visual examination. Wire crystals of native silver are difficult to find in among the typically dark brown to bluish-black Mn-O coated rocks in the mine dumps, it takes a concerted effort looking specifically for them - but quite a few finds have been made this way. Specimens in which the silver is encased in a dark-brown to black crust are the most difficult to spot. Specimens of wire crystals curled into coils or having the arborescent habit tend to be the most interesting. Sometimes clusters of the silver are accompanied by spheres of malachite, with the malachite perched on and/or pierced by the wires of silver. Sometimes the wires have thorn-like acanthite crystals on them - which have been noted to multiply and increase in size *after* being brought home. Wires that are dull pencil-lead grey in color and which are crumbly under the point of a pin are presumed to be native silver that has pseudomorphed into acanthite. Most often found in vugs of siderite crystals, but also fund in vugs of quartz crystals and in other associations.
Smithsonite
Formula: ZnCO3
Habit: As micro-crystals and sub-botryoidal to somewhat stalactic crusts; and as crudely rhombic crystals with a rice grain appearance.
Colour: "Frosted" greyish-white to bluish-grey crusts, looking much like "dirty melted candle wax."
Fluorescence: none
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster). Analyses show a note worthy amount of Cd to be present. Most typically found as micro-crusts and sub-botryoidal clusters; more rarely as "rice grain" crystals; and occasionally as stacked sub-parallel rhombs resembling pine-cones. It is believed that some of the micro-crusts and sub-botryoidal to botryoidal clusters of "unknowns" that are obviously not malachite or other knowns are smithsonite stained greens and blues by zinc and copper.
Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region.
Habit: Found largely as massive material; but also found as micro-crystals in vuggy gangue rock with a blocky, crudely pyramidal, shape that may appear pseudo-hex. with a hexagonal basal termination containing triangular striations.
Colour: Mostly black to reddish-black, but occasionally very dark reddish-brown; with a sub-iridescent luster, more rarely glassy in the smallest, reddest, crystals.
Fluorescence: A dull deep red under short-wave UV.
Description: Identified by SEM-EDS at the UNO lab (Jim Nazimoff & Al Falster), and by visual identification. As common as the massive material is in the mine dumps, it is probably often overlooked - taken as "more Mn-O tarnished siderite." But it's nearly metallic luster and coarse cleavage at varying angles in freshly broken material distinguish it from the siderite. Sometimes the massive material has a greenish olive-yellow color that also distinguishes it from siderite here. The micro-crystals are rather difficult to find - camouflaged in among all the other Mn-O stained materials, and usually occuring in vugs lined with siderite.
Talc
Formula: Mg3Si4O10(OH)2
Titanite
Formula: CaTi(SiO4)O
Topaz
Formula: Al2(SiO4)(F,OH)2
Localities: Reported from at least 9 localities in this region.
Tremolite
Formula: ◻Ca2Mg5(Si8O22)(OH)2
Wroewolfeite ?
Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 · 2H2O
Habit: Crude arrowhead shaped (or "spearmint leaf" shaped) micro-crystals in clusters and flat radial sprays on matrix.
Colour: Pale green.
Fluorescence: none
Description: SEM-EDS analysis at Excalibur Minerals (Tony Nickershir) suggests wroewolfeite as the identity of this unknown from the site; but visual observations - color and shape - put this in doubt. XRD analysis is needed... Known from only a single specimen as of Oct. '04.
'Zinnwaldite'
