Detailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Anhydrite Formula: CaSO4 Reference: Adams, G. C. (1991) Gypsum and Anhydrite Resources in Nova Scotia. Economic Geology Series ME 1991-1. |
| ⓘ Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Reference: A.P. Sabina, "Rocks and Minerals for the Collector - Northeastern Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward Island", GSC Paper 65-10, 1965. |
| ⓘ Brochantite Formula: Cu4(SO4)(OH)6 Colour: Green Description: Green sprays to a few hundred microns in size (few tenths of a millimeter), associated with chalcopyrite. Ex. Huestis Collection. The original ID may have been using EDS though the information is no longer available. A sample was tested in acid to confirm it is not malachite. Reference: Steve Stuart Collection |
