Detailed Mineral List:

β“˜ Diopside
Formula: CaMgSi2O6
Reference: Bowen, O.E., Jr. (1954), Geology and mineral deposits of Barstow quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California: California Division Mines Bulletin 165: 32; Murdoch, Joseph & Robert W. Webb (1966), Minerals of California, Centennial Volume (1866-1966): California Division Mines & Geology Bulletin 189: 225.
β“˜ 'Garnet Group'
Formula: X3Z2(SiO4)3
Reference: Bowen, O.E., Jr. (1954), Geology and mineral deposits of Barstow quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California: California Division Mines Bulletin 165: 32; Murdoch, Joseph & Robert W. Webb (1966), Minerals of California, Centennial Volume (1866-1966): California Division Mines & Geology Bulletin 189: 225.
β“˜ Piemontite
Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlMn3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Description: Occurs as crystals to 5 mm long in groups in vugs in metavolcanic rocks.
Reference: Bowen, O.E., Jr. (1954), Geology and mineral deposits of Barstow quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California: California Division Mines Bulletin 165: 51-52; Murdoch, Joseph & Robert W. Webb (1966), Minerals of California, Centennial Volume (1866-1966): California Division Mines & Geology Bulletin 189: 289.
β“˜ 'Silica'
Reference: USGS (2005), Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS): U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia, loc. file ID #10165360.
β“˜ Uvarovite ?
Formula: Ca3Cr2(SiO4)3
Description: NOTE: This species is entered as unconfirmed based on the nature of the associated minerals, the lack of any mention of the presence of Cr, and the likelyhood that this is a visual misidentification of a green garnet such as demantoid or tsavorite. Its correct identity is unknown.

Webb (1966), Minerals of California, Centennial Volume (1866-1966): California Division Mines & Geology Bulletin 189: 225.
β“˜ Vesuvianite
Formula: Ca19Fe3+Al4(Al6Mg2)(◻4)◻[Si2O7]4[(SiO4)10]O(OH)9
Description: Occurs massive and in crystals associated with greenish garnet, diopside and uvarovite.
Reference: Bowen, O.E., Jr. (1954), Geology and mineral deposits of Barstow quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California: California Division Mines Bulletin 165: 32; Murdoch, Joseph & Robert W.
