8 valid minerals. 2 erroneous literature entries.

Detailed Mineral List:

'Coeruleolactite'
Description: See also planerite entry for this locality. This material is cuprian planerite or "half-empty" turquoise. Published analysis indicates that the vacany in the 'A' site is between 0.51-0.54 atom fraction, the balance in Cu-0.40 and Zn-0.06 to 0.09, so this is indeed planerite.
Gibbsite
Formula: Al(OH)3
Description: Based on XRD analysis and matching patterns of confirmed kojojoboite/matulaite/afmite @ hellertown, PA. ref. Mineralogical Magazine vol. 76 no. 3 p.517 (2012).
Goethite
Formula: α-Fe3+O(OH)
Hematite
Formula: Fe2O3
Kobokoboite
Formula: Al6(PO4)4(OH)6 · 11H2O
'Limonite'
Matulaite
Formula: (Fe3+,Al)Al7(PO4)4(PO3OH)2(OH)8(H2O)8 · 8H2O
Planerite
Formula: Al6(PO4)2(PO3OH)2(OH)8 · 4H2O
Description: Was originally reported to be coeruleolactite. Cuprian planerite or "half-empty" turquoise. Published analysis indicates that the vacany in the 'A' site is between 0.51-0.54 atom fraction, the balance in Cu-0.40 and Zn-0.06 to 0.09, so this is indeed planerite.
Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
Quartz
Formula: SiO2
Wavellite
Formula: Al3(PO4)2(OH,F)3 · 5H2O
