Detailed Mineral List:

Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
Habit: combinations of {001}{210}{011}{101}; irregularly formed crystals up to 6cm long and 2cm wide; pseudomorphs of calcite scalenohedra
Colour: white, bluish
Bornite
Formula: Cu5FeS4
Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Habit: more or less modified scalenohedra, prisms, isoscelohedra
Colour: whitish, brownish
Cerussite
Formula: PbCO3
Habit: often twinned according to (110)
Colour: blackish
Description: Crusts on galena, often supporting calcite crystals (Buttgenbach, 1898).
Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
Fluorite
Formula: CaF2
Habit: combinations of {100} {102} {223} {421}
Colour: colourless
Description: On baryte.
Galena
Formula: PbS
Goethite
Formula: α-Fe3+O(OH)
'Limonite'
Marcasite
Formula: FeS2
Habit: The most frequently occurring combination is {101}{010}{140}{110}, sometimes with {111}, but also with {150}, {120}, {310}. Twins generally according to (101); several twinned crystals show the {011} faces. In the same deposit, marcasite occurs as globular and kidney-shaped limonitized masses with cockscomb crystals on their surfaces; other more fibrous masses easily decompose to sulfates.
Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Smithsonite
Formula: ZnCO3
Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
