β Azurite Formula: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2 Habit: thin films |
β Bornite Formula: Cu5FeS4 |
β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Habit: scalenohedral Description: Large scalenohedrals found in non-metalic veins |
β Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 |
β Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 |
β Covellite Formula: CuS |
β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 |
β 'Freibergite Subgroup' Formula: (Ag6,[Ag6]4+)(Cu4 C2+2)Sb4S12S0-1 |
β Galena Formula: PbS Habit: blebs, no distinct crystalization Description: sparse blebs to 1cm, associated with brown anglesite |
β Jarosite Formula: KFe3+3(SO4)2(OH)6 Habit: powdery, dull earthy Colour: red-brown |
β Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 Habit: thin films, micro sprays, small crustations |
β Quartz Formula: SiO2 |
β Silver Formula: Ag Habit: wire |
β Sphalerite Formula: ZnS |
β 'Tennantite Subgroup' Formula: Cu6(Cu4C2+2)As4S12S Description: Silver-bearing Tennantite is likely the source of the Acanthite identified at this locality, believed to be a product of alteration due to normal ground water. Neither K nor L spectra of Antimony were detected in these Tennantite specimens (Identity still in question) |
β 'Tetrahedrite Subgroup' Formula: Cu6(Cu4C2+2)Sb4S12S |
