Detailed Mineral List:
| β Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 References: |
| β Arsenopyrite Formula: FeAsS Description: A large piece of rock with chalcopyrite apparent on the surface was broken apart. The chalcopyrite formed a distinct face on one side of the piece which split away cleanly from a layer of dark rock which contains widespread nodes of arsenopyrite with rare microscopic pyramidal crystals with striated faces. Confirmation was obtained by heating powder in a closed tube and observing the mirror of arsenic condensate, notable for the almost complete absence of sulphur. References: |
