Detailed Mineral List:
| β Ankerite Formula: Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2 |
| β Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 Colour: Honey-yellow Description: The Aragonites I believe have been found twice in separate pockets some 5 years apart. The first pocket/vein was a rich translucent honey colouration and the ones from the pocket whose specimen is pictured here, were mostly clear with some limonite staining and deposition on them. The honey coloured group were in radiating masses, and the most recent ones, which came out about 20 years ago were mostly loose singles, some doubly terminated and small groups of sprays and only a few actually on a dolomite matrix. |
| β Boulangerite Formula: Pb5Sb4S11 |
| β Brucite Formula: Mg(OH)2 |
| β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| β Chalcocite Formula: Cu2S |
| β 'Chlorite Group' |
| β Clinochlore Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8 |
| β Clinochlore var. Leuchtenbergite Formula: Mg5Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)8 |
| β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 |
| β Euclase Formula: BeAl(SiO4)(OH) Description: The Euclase is about .9 cm long. The Euclases came out of a single dirt filled pocket found by a visiting geologist and numbered about a 140 in total, mostly broken and not terminated. There are specimens in both the National and Royal Ontario Museums, as well as in the possession of Ray Hill, and that of two other dealers. |
| β Fersmite Formula: (Ca,Ce,Na)(Nb,Ta,Ti)2(O,OH,F)6 |
| β Galena Formula: PbS Habit: cubes Colour: grey black Description: Tiny black xls with cleavage. Recently these black specs have been marketed as Fersmite. Fersmite fluoresces while galena does not. |
| β Huntite Formula: CaMg3(CO3)4 |
| β Magnesite Formula: MgCO3 |
| β Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| β Muscovite var. Illite Formula: K0.65Al2.0[Al0.65Si3.35O10](OH)2 |
| β Muscovite var. Sericite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| β Palygorskite Formula: (Mg,Al)2Si4O10(OH) · 4H2O |
| β Pentlandite Formula: (NixFey)Ξ£9S8 |
| β Phlogopite Formula: KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 |
| β Quartz Formula: SiO2 |
| β Sphalerite Formula: ZnS Description: tiny brown xls. Svandbergite is more orange |
| β Svanbergite Formula: SrAl3(PO4)(SO4)(OH)6 |
| β Talc Formula: Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 |
