| β Cerussite var. Silver-bearing Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 with Ag |
| β Chalcanthite Formula: CuSO4 · 5H2O |
| β Chalcocite Formula: Cu2S Localities: |
| β Chalcopyrite Formula: CuFeS2 Localities: Reported from at least 10 localities in this region. Description: Chalcopyrite was the principle ore mineral at the Conrad Hill Mine. It was auriferous. The mine produced significant gold for a few decades in the early 1900's with accessory production of copper. Most of both came from the chalcopyrite, although grains of native gold dust contributed. The chalcopyrite is in spots and splotches in the quartz/siderite matrix rock of the ore body. Some of it is iridescent. Crystals, if they even exist, are exceedingly rare. |
| β 'Chert var. Novaculite' ? Description: The cited reference gives a question mark after the term "novaculite". See my messageboard discussion for May 20, 2019. The rock is highly improbable to be sedimentary, hence a variety of chert - a strictly sedimentary rock term - does not fit. Rather the abundant material being referred to is almost certain to be rhyolite. The largely uniform light grey color reduces the amount of interest in it as a lapidary material, but it can and has been used for that. |
| β 'Chlorite Group' Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. |
| β Chrysocolla Formula: Cu2-xAlx(H2-xSi2O5)(OH)4 · nH2O, x < 1 |

| β Galena Formula: PbS Localities: Reported from at least 8 localities in this region. |
| β Goethite Formula: Ξ±-Fe3+O(OH) Localities: Description: Was recorded as Limonite. The identity of goethite as the species is visually quite obvious. The mineral occurs in two major modes. The main interest in goethite here is the black mammillary masses. Very nice cabinet display pieces were relatively common half a century ago (1960's) but are hard to come by now. The other mode is brown cellular cavity-ridden pseudomorphs after siderite retaining some of the rhombic orientation in the walls of cavities. The interest here is finding nice malachite crystals in the vugs. Furthermore, nice rhombic pseudomorphs of goethite after siderite crystals are somewhat common. A lot of the quartz at the mine has drusy crystal surfaces richly impregnated by goethite, making attractive sparkly brown pieces. |
| β Gold Formula: Au Localities: Reported from at least 13 localities in this region. References: |
| β Goslarite Formula: ZnSO4 · 7H2O |
| β Grossular Formula: Ca3Al2(SiO4)3 |
| β Gudmundite Formula: FeSbS |
| β Gypsum Formula: CaSO4 · 2H2O Description: Found as altered product on waste dumps |
| β Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 Localities: Description: Hematite takes two modes at Conrad Hill: red ochre and black coarse platy. The platy is best described as "platy hematite" and does not resemble the variety "specularite". Tiny crystals are very rare and unimpressive, but they have been found. I (Steve Adams) found a few pieces with such crystals over many years of collecting there. |
| β Formula: Fe2O3 Locality: Conrad Hill Mine (Dodge Hill Mine), Cid Mining District, Carolina Slate Belt, Davidson County, North Carolina, USA - erroneously reported Description: Hematite takes two modes at Conrad Hill: red ochre and black coarse platy. The platy is not aptly descriptive as "specularite". The material does not resemble the sparkly compact variety specularite and should be called platy hematite. |
| β Hemimorphite Formula: Zn4Si2O7(OH)2 · H2O |
| β Hydrozincite Formula: Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6 |
| β Kaolinite Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4 |
| β 'Limonite' Localities: |
| β Linarite Formula: PbCu(SO4)(OH)2 |
| β Mackinawite Formula: FeS |
| β Magnetite Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4 |
| β Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. Description: Malachite is common as small patches and stains, often with chalcopyrite. But within the void spaces of the cellular goethite, nice acicular crystals and silky or velvety sprays can be found with diligence. In the 1970's I (Steve Adams) broke open a piece of such goethite and was astonished to see a spray of several needles of malachite fine as a hair rising from a point a full inch tall! But holding it up in admiration, a strong wind gust came along and broke the crystals away! |
| β Mimetite Formula: Pb5(AsO4)3Cl Description: Found on Pyromorphite. |
| β Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. |
| β Muscovite var. Sericite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. |
| β Orthoclase Formula: K(AlSi3O8) |
| β Pentlandite ? Formula: (NixFey)Ξ£9S8 |
| β 'Psilomelane' |
| β Pyrargyrite Formula: Ag3SbS3 |
| β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Localities: Reported from at least 12 localities in this region. |
| β Formula: FeS2 Locality: Conrad Hill Mine (Dodge Hill Mine), Cid Mining District, Carolina Slate Belt, Davidson County, North Carolina, USA - erroneously reported Description: See notes under pyrite. If pyrite actually is present, it would likely be auriferous. The chalcopyrite is definitely auriferous, which in fact made the mine profitable. |
| β Pyromorphite Formula: Pb5(PO4)3Cl Localities: Habit: Highly diverse. Includes tabular with basal pinacoids all the way to slender prismatic with complete pyramid faces. Some of the later had yellow equant second-generation crystals attached epitaxially to the long colorless prism - "corn on the cob"! Also "spindles", "barrels", "rice grains", and acicular spheroids. Colour: Every color reported for the species. Shades of green of course, also water-clear colorless, beige, tan, yellow, orange, white. But of special interest is the unique carnation pink crystals. Unfortunately these appear to be due to F-centers or lattice voids and not a chromophore. So they quickly fade in the sunlight. Description: See details under habits and colors. This is a much smaller mine than the nearby Silver Hill Mine. But this mine surpasses Silver Hill in the amazing diversity of colors and habits of the pyromorphite. |
| β Pyrrhotite Formula: Fe1-xS Localities: |
| β Quartz Formula: SiO2 Localities: Reported from at least 11 localities in this region. Description: Milky quartz is abundant as a gangue mineral in the dump material, typically making nice contrast to siderite. Vugs and seams often have small crystals, rarely very clear. Drusy quartz surfaces are often impregnated with goethite making sparkling brown specimens. Much more rarely the quartz is chloritic. |

| β RomanΓ¨chite Formula: (Ba,H2O)2(Mn4+,Mn3+)5O10 |
| β Scheelite Formula: Ca(WO4) |
| β Serpierite Formula: Ca(Cu,Zn)4(SO4)2(OH)6 · 3H2O |
| β Siderite Formula: FeCO3 Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region. Description: Very coarse cleavage masses of siderite comprise up to 40% of the gangue in the dump material. Single cleavage rhombs of ten centimeters across have been extracted. Intergrown red-brown coarse cleavage masses are plentiful and often attractive, especially with contrasting milky quartz. Often the quartz has seams and vugs of small crystals, and very sharp siderite crystals frequently occur with them. Habits are usually rhombs but also blades. Cavities directly in the siderite masses can show dull rhombs, often crude, up to three centimeters across. Finally, cellular brown goethite pseudomorphs after siderite rhombic crystals are fairly common. Single masses of siderite can weigh over a hundred pounds. |

| β 'Wad' |
| β Wavellite Formula: Al3(PO4)2(OH,F)3 · 5H2O Habit: Small spots of radial sprays or "wheels". More rarely as tiny white acicular needles upright in patches in vugs. Colour: White, pale grey, beige, brown, pale green Description: A specimen of tiny white sprays of this mineral I found years ago is now in the Kenny Gay collection. The patch of numerous sprays occupied a surface approx. 4 x 7 cm. Steve Adams |
