| β Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 |
| βͺ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Locality: National Limestone Quarry No. 1, Paxtonville, Middleburg Township, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, USA Colour: White, colorless Fluorescence: Non-Fluorescent at this location. Description: Calcite can be found in voids and vugs throughout the limestone in the quarry. Fresh blasts often expose new crystals. Exquisite formations of crystals can be found at various locations in the quarry. |
| β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 |
| β Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Locality: National Limestone Quarry No. 1, Paxtonville, Middleburg Township, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, USA Habit: massive, rarely cubic crystals Colour: Deep Purple Description: Found in seams, veins, and massive in limestone, in the deeper layers of the quarry |
| β Galena Formula: PbS |
| β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Locality: National Limestone Quarry No. 1, Paxtonville, Middleburg Township, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, USA Habit: massive Description: Small crystals found at west end of quarry |
