Formula: Ag2S
β“˜ Afghanite
Formula: (Na,K)22Ca10(Si24Al24O96)(SO4)6Cl6
Description: D4 orebody
β“˜ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
β“˜ Albite var. Oligoclase
Formula: (Na,Ca)[Al(Si,Al)Si2O8]
β“˜ Anhydrite
Formula: CaSO4
β“˜ Arsenopyrite
Formula: FeAsS
Description: Occurs in an orebody in clacitic and dolomitic marbles.
β“˜ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Description: Occurs in an orebody in clacitic and dolomitic marbles.
β“˜ Chalcopyrite
Formula: CuFeS2
Description: Occurs in an orebody in clacitic and dolomitic marbles.
β“˜ Diopside

β“˜ 'Freibergite Subgroup'
Formula: (Ag6,[Ag6]4+)(Cu4 C2+2)Sb4S12S0-1
Description: Occurs in an orebody in clacitic and dolomitic marbles.
β“˜ Galena
Formula: PbS
Description: Occurs in an orebody in clacitic and dolomitic marbles.
β“˜ HaΓΌyne
Formula: Na3Ca(Si3Al3)O12(SO4)
Description: Please see: http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,7,208552,208552#msg-208552
β“˜ Lazurite
Formula: Na7Ca(Al6Si6O24)(SO4)(S3) · H2O
Description: Mike Hawkins, curator of the mineral collection at the NY State Museum wrote: "... lazurite from the St. Joe Edwards Mine found in the 1970's. I think it is the intermixed diopside that fluoresces blue-white. The Edwards mineral was originally described as hauynite, but modern analysis shows lazurite. They are very difficult to tell apart with sophisticated tests."
