| β Heterogenite Formula: Co3+O(OH) |
| β Libethenite Formula: Cu2(PO4)(OH) References: |
| β Malachite Formula: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 Localities: References: |
| β 'Manganese Oxides' Habit: flower-like form Colour: sooty grey-black Description: The mineral is quite rare at the deposit because I went thru a few hundred specimens of cobaltoan calcite and found only two with the manganese dendrites on the matrix. References: |
| β 'Manganese Oxides var. Manganese Dendrites' Habit: flower-like form Colour: sooty grey-black Description: The mineral is quite rare at the deposit because I went thru a few hundred specimens of cobaltoan calcite and found only two with the manganese dendrites on the matrix. References: |
| β Plancheite ? Formula: Cu8(Si8O22)(OH)4 · H2O Description: The specimen looks like plancheite from other localities and this locality doesn't seem to be known for this species. References: |
| β Pseudomalachite Formula: Cu5(PO4)2(OH)4 Localities: References: |
| β Quartz Formula: SiO2 References: |
| β Quartz var. Chalcedony Formula: SiO2 References: |
| β Spherocobaltite Formula: CoCO3 Localities: Habit: Crystal (<3mm) shows discoidal, pseudo-hexagonal habit Description: The article sited in the reference states that spherocobaltite was found at Kakanda without specific locality and at Kakanda South mine. The attribution to the Kakanda North mine could be erronerous.
