β Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) |
β Amblygonite Formula: LiAl(PO4)F Description: As grey masses to several kilo's. |
β Cassiterite Formula: SnO2 |
βͺ Elbaite Formula: Na(Li1.5Al1.5)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) Habit: to 30 cm Colour: Green, blue, pink, brown Description: Elbaite is known mainly from this pegmatite, as excellent gem quality crystals and occasionally gem spheres. Brown crystals are very complex, resemble uvites from Gouverneur, New York, as in Dana's system of mineralogy 1892.
Pink crystals with green caps were found in 2002. |
β 'Feldspar Group' |
β 'Feldspar Group var. Perthite' |
β Kaolinite Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4 |
β 'Lepidolite' |
β Muscovite Formula: KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
β Quartz Formula: SiO2 |
β Quartz var. Smoky Quartz Formula: SiO2 Habit: over 30 cm |
β Schorl Formula: NaFe2+3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3(OH) |
β Triplite Formula: Mn2+2(PO4)F Description: Found as remnants in altered phosphate nodules. |
