| βͺ Anglesite Formula: PbSO4 Description: As white crusts, alteration product associated with Galena References: |
| β Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Description: Massive, main mineral component of vein. |
| βͺ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 Description: Translucent white, usually fills voids when found (crystal faces are rare). |
| βͺ Cerussite Formula: PbCO3 Description: As translucent white crusts, alteration product associated with Galena References: |
| β Dolomite Formula: CaMg(CO3)2 Description: Small cream colored saddle shaped crystals. Associated with pyrite and fluorite near vein walls. References: |
| β Fluorite Formula: CaF2 Description: Pale violet cubes to 2 mm. Associated with Dolomite and Pyrite near vein walls. References: |
| β Galena Formula: PbS Description: Modified octahedrons to 2 cm or larger. Usually embedded in massive barite. Vein was once mined for this mineral. |
| β Pyrite Formula: FeS2 Description: Crystals to 2 mm. Associated with dolomite and fluorite near vein walls. References: |
| β Smithsonite Formula: ZnCO3 Description: Cream to reddish brown crusts. Alteration product of sphalerite. References: |
| β Sphalerite Formula: ZnS Description: Black curved faced crystals to 2 cm. |
| β Strontianite Formula: SrCO3 Description: Massive, as crystals to 5 mm in voids in the massive material, and spherical radiating groups to 1.5 cm. References: |
