| β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 Localities: |
| β Goethite Formula: Ξ±-Fe3+O(OH) |
| β Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 Localities: |
| β Jacobsite Formula: Mn2+Fe3+2O4 Description: Like the Iron Monarch specimens, it is believed there could be specimens which may grade through to franklinite, with the Zn replacing Mg. Specimens also show weak magnetism. Initial identification via SEM-EDS at the South Australian Museum. |
