| β Baryte Formula: BaSO4 References: |
| β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| β Goethite Formula: Ξ±-Fe3+O(OH) Description: Goethite forms small sprays of elongated crystals that have grown over pseudomorphs of an unknown mineral after calcite. |
| β Hausmannite Formula: Mn2+Mn3+2O4 |
| β Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 Description: Black botryoidal hematite, which can look similar to goethite, has formed in usual shapes over the matrix. The hematite is often overgrown by poor calcite. |
| β Manganite Formula: Mn3+O(OH) |
| β Pyrolusite Formula: Mn4+O2 |
